No, I am not. I am not in Idaho. The fact of the matter is, this is a very specific document that each administration presents when it is sworn. This is the set of rules which govern the executive branch of government. When I read in documentation that we are getting set to sell off public lands, what am I reminded of? Talk about the integrity of the House of Representatives. What am I reminded of? I am reminded of what happened in 1922, 1923, 1924, when they tried to sell off oil reserves, and it got them into trouble. Republicans had their hands out.

So I am proud of our efforts to make big business and rich tax cheats finally pay their fair share. What the heck is wrong with that? And we have made progress.
