Exactly. We're saying as Democrats in the House and as Democrats on the Hill what must be on the table. We need to have on the table discussions about oil breaks, which trace their roots over a hundred years' worth of policy decisions. Tax breaks for the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans must be on the table. These are the important things. Big Oil profits, which are historically the largest, are the reason, in order to afford those sorts of handouts and wealthy tax cuts, they need to carve into a program like Medicare. It's in order to make it all balance. So we're saying no, no, no, that these things must be on the table.
