I will just sum up with this, because I think you have hit the nail on the head. We can cure this disease. It's called stopping the out-of-control spending. And at every opportunity, we should seek ways to allow American families and American businesses to keep more of their hard-earned money. That's going to result in economic confidence. That's going to result in investment. That's going to result in increased consumer confidence, and it's going to increase and create jobs, and we know that. I urge my colleagues--I thank you for this time, and I urge my colleagues to join with me in supporting the legislation and those policies that are going to accomplish those goals: cutting the spending, letting Americans keep more of their hard-earned money, and ultimately creating jobs and putting America back to work. And I want to thank you for the opportunity today.
