Well, I thank my good friend for dusting that chart off and bringing it out tonight. I think we need to reproduce that and get that in every one of the 435 offices because, you know, I've tried to lead my life by principles, and one of them has been the principle that the best predictor of future performance is past performance. And here we are looming days until we have this Nation's largest tax increase in history, and what a great chart to be able to show the practical impact on job creation that tax cuts make, because you've got the documentation right there. You show it, pre-tax cuts, and you show it post-tax cuts. And the results are astounding. We're talking jobs. And I don't--there's few issues and problems that we face, that our families face, and individuals in this country face that can't be solved by a good job. Period. Health care, economic issues, they're just so important. And I'm very appreciative, a little surprised, but I'm appreciative of the leadership that the President has shown in the past week or so in terms of really what appears to be--and I have to tell you in the first bipartisan real true bipartisanship that I've seen my first 2 years here in Congress.
