We are going to recognize next our distinguished colleague from Massachusetts. I just want to say, Senator Casey has made, as is usually the case, an eloquent argument that preventing default and standing up for the most vulnerable people, those two are not mutually exclusive. You can do both. And Senator Casey's arguments, as is usually the case in our Senate Finance Committee, really strike home to this Senator. And I want to thank him for day in and day out talking common sense and making it clear that default is unacceptable and harming so many vulnerable Americans, in Pennsylvania, Oregon, Massachusetts, and elsewhere, is also unacceptable. And I thank my friend. And we have another passionate advocate for people who are vulnerable from the Senate Finance Committee, our friend from Massachusetts Senator Warren. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Massachusetts.
