I think, you know, you deserve a great deal of credit for being a visionary on this. You know, while some people look at one bill at a time, you are looking at it from a 4- or 5-year projection. As you are looking for your children and eventually your grandchildren, you are giving a real vision to this Congressman. The question I have, Mark, is, how do we know that we can assure this for the years to come? We know we have done for the 104th Congress and 105th the Congress. What kind of budget discipline and what kind of legislation can be achieved so that the same kind of graph that you have been showing, where there is going to be more opportunity, your children will fulfill their dreams and have a job and give less money to the government and more money back in their pocket for their children to fulfill their dreams, what kind of legislation do we need in order to make sure that the dreams of your children will be fulfilled?
