Families in my friend's State, the great State of Georgia, will lose a tax deduction of $9,000, those families, on average. I think you are concerned about that. You cannot fib that you are not. And the fact of the matter is you used the words--through the Speaker, you used the words that your States are subsidizing the donor States? Well, let me give you an idea of New Jersey. States like West Virginia, the average SALT deduction claim is $9,463 per household; in Ohio, it is $10,445; in Wisconsin, it is $11,653. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired. Mr. McGOVERN. I yield the gentleman an additional 30 seconds, and this will probably have to be it because, unfortunately, we have so many speakers over here. I wish I could enjoy the loneliness that my colleague from Georgia enjoys that nobody wants to speak to defend this budget.

health is so personal. But it is a good reflection of how we can come together in the Congress of the United States, believe it or not.
