We are glad that after we called attention to that issue, our Republican colleagues realized that it was not a good idea to have an across-the-board cut in Medicare to pay for business tax incentives. We are glad they woke up to that fact. But the underlying report here is going to remain the same. Putting $310 billion on the credit card, someone has got to pay. We should take the responsibility in this House to figure out how we are going to do it. We put forward proposals as to how to do it. Unfortunately, despite having passed a budget a couple of weeks ago, they are now waiving their rules on their own budget for these purposes. I look forward to the conversation later today.
