Yes, as sad as that is. There are some bright people on the other side of the aisle that could really help us get this thing done. When I did welfare reform back in 1996, we finally got some help from the other side and President Clinton signed the bill. And that was one of the greatest pieces of social legislation that has come out of the Congress, I think, in the last couple of decades. It was late coming, but it came and we were able to do that. But in order to have the confidence of the American people, this has to be done in a bipartisan way.
