I have been aggressively pursuing a desire to vote on that very reasonable amendment for a considerable amount of time. The Senate Budget Committee staff tells us that EPW is $24 billion over the budget; Banking, $9 billion over the budget; Commerce, $2.5 billion over the budget--I would be more than happy to erase all of those--for a total of $35.5 billion over the budget. Meanwhile, everybody in America is warning us about running up these huge deficits.
