I thank the lady for yielding back. Because again, you know, when you are looking at these staggering numbers--I'm sure Wyoming, like the State of Ohio, in our Constitution we have to balance our budget. I was a county commissioner for 6…

I thank the gentlelady. I think what you are looking at is from the small business owners. They understand right off the bat that something has to be done. They understand that they have had to make deep, deep cuts. Until recently, I…
