I think it is going to be a lot of fun. It is going to be a day of accountability. That is what we call tomorrow, it is a day for accountability, a day to stand up and sign up for what you believe in. Again, as we close the debate on this special order on A to Z, we are talking about deficits in excess of $200 billion per year. We are talking about a debt of $4.5 trillion. We are talking about having tried things like a balanced budget amendment. We have tried the concept of a line item veto. We have tried Penny-Kasich. We have tried other ideas. A to Z is a revolutionary new idea. It is a mission to cut spending. It is a simple process, everything on the table line by line, item for item, accountability. We talk about it, we discuss it and we vote on it. It is representative democracy at its best. A to Z day is tomorrow. It is accountability day, and I thank my colleagues for joining me at the well, and tomorrow we will be the first to sign that discharge paper.
