I just find it ironic that, you know, we look back in 2001 and 2003, when you oversaw the CBO, the Bush administration added $1.5 trillion to the deficit. Now my Republican colleagues have added another $1.9 trillion to the deficit. And we always look to people on Social Security and Medicare to pay for this.
