I thank the chairman for yielding. If you look at the Boehner proposal, it says we've got to cut $1.8 trillion. The Speaker of the House has already said that you can't have any revenue as part of that, that you can't close one corporate loophole. In fact, he said that the majority would override any proposal, so the only other way to get it mathematically is to start slashing Medicare and to start going after Social Security.
