The problem is, you've failed to mention that how you paid for this is what really caused the disagreement, whether it was August or even December. Even December, go back to December when we had another opportunity, and we did not rise to that occasion. If you are not willing to at least come together and compromise on how you pay for these things--I know it's a difficult thing, and I respect the integrity of your words and yourself when I say this through the Speaker. I say this wholeheartedly and full-heartedly. If we can't agree on how we're going to pay for the payroll tax cut because if you look at what you've suggested--you're suggesting that we go deeper into the general budget and cut things that are near and dear to not only yourself--
