But this does change it. It does slant it. If we do not have a point of order prevail against it because it is going to go back to some program, talking about the tobacco, that is going to stop smoking, a point of order is going to lie upon it. But if we are going to take that money and give it back as tax rebates, a point of order does not lie against it. And the argument is not going to be on what it does, it is going to be on procedure. Well, Mr. Chairman, this is not a mandate. This is not a point of order under the unfunded mandate because it says, if there is going to be a tax break, there is no point of order, Mr. Chairman, it gives a point of order. It does slant the debate.
