Hey, Doctor, it's a treat to have you on the floor. And I'm going to run over to, moving a little bit from Georgia to the West, to the great State of Utah, and Congressman Bishop, you've joined us on the floor a number of times.

How do we crack this nut about trying to reduce Federal spending? I would appreciate your perspective.
