This is a poorly run business right now. Our government right now is a poorly run business that wastes money. And in Iraq, they lost $9 billion that nobody knows where it is. Royalties on the oil companies that we are just not getting because they get a lot of campaign contributions. Subsidies to the health care industry. And $16 billion, as Ms. Wasserman Schultz said, to the energy companies and the oil companies. I mean, we are hemorrhaging here, and we are giving the millionaires $42,000, and we are giving the oil companies $16 billion. We don't have it to give you. I'd love to give it to you. It would be great if we could give everybody everything.
