It does not matter if you are a Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative or Independent, what your faith is, what your sexual orientation is: Out of many one. But if we are not careful, that one is going to fall based on what we do, and the debt affects a liberal as much as it affects a conservative. It steals opportunity from liberal children as much as it does conservative children. We have to come to a point where we say: Enough is enough. I was just thinking, as the Senator talked, the $50 billion we are going to borrow from our kids with this bill, it would run the government of the entire State of Oklahoma for 8 years--every branch, every employee, pay all the costs, build all the highways, do everything we do for 8 years, just on what we are going to borrow. When you start putting it down into, how much is $50 billion?--we throw away billions like they were pennies here. And how many years for a trillion seconds?
