First, I appreciate his generosity in yielding. It would be interesting for us to have a discussion at some point about the economy and fiscal policy. I think we are wildly off track. Maybe the Senator from Oklahoma and I agree on that point. I will make a couple of observations, if I might. No. 1, the Senator suggested that we have never paid down the debt. In the late 1990s, we had a fiscal policy that generated revenue by which we began to reduce the debt.

Senator Dorgan once said it takes four agencies and 49 steps. I think with the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation, we say it is seven agencies and 100 steps.
