But moving on to the broader context, since our friends on the other side talk so much about reinventing government, we will borrow that phrase and say we are going to reinvent government right here and right now, not with a Rube-Goldbergesque contraption but with simple commonsense funding of necessary programs.

So, once again, amidst some of the ying and yang that takes place here on the floor, I hope that we can have give and take and calm minds and calm voices may prevail and we can enact these programs.
