I would be happy to. Mr. LeMIEUX. Your State has high unemployment and my State does too. I think you are at 14-some percent, and we are at 12 percent. Everybody cares about trying to get folks back to work, but shouldn't we find a pay-for on this bill? Everybody wants to extend unemployment compensation, but why should we put it off on our kids and our grandkids? Is there not $55 billion we could find to pay for this bill?
