That is very helpful. I indicate to the Chair and all colleagues, the intention would be to go to Senator Stabenow next. There is not a formal agreement in place, but that is the informal understanding, that after Senator Allard, Senator Stabenow would be next. I thank the Senator very much. Again, I apologize for interrupting.

Social Security's financial challenge affects nearly our entire society, and the solutions will require a broad-based approach.
I cannot be part of any recommendations on long-term care because I am conflicted.
We all know that Social Security is going to have to be dealt with, or we are going to face by 2034 at the latest--many of us believe it will be earlier than that---an across-the-board 23-percent cut.
