I agree. I think we are almost out of time, but I just wanted to say that, obviously, this is the beginning. The budget passed at least in the House and presumably in both Houses by tomorrow, but this is really the beginning of our effort. And I stress again the Democrats because we have been really talking about this as part of our family first agenda for at least a year now. I know the gentleman does, and I certainly do and everybody within the task force wants to make sure that these Democratic priorities in terms of making sure that these tax credits and deductions go to help working families pay for education programs, and that we do have the priorities as far as education programs, including things like the school construction fund, are ultimately included. So I want to commend the gentleman again for his efforts with the task force, and unless the gentleman wants to add anything, we will yield back.
