Mr. Speaker, Mr. Schweikert and I sit beside each other every day, and we keep--honestly, these are things that keep me up at night. In another month, my wife and I will be celebrating our 50th anniversary. I don't know what she was thinking. All I did was ask, and she said yes. Then, for half a century, we have been going at this. We have 10 grandchildren, and I am constantly asked by people: How can you be so responsible when it comes to spending our tax dollars? We don't want to be irresponsible. David and I sit there, and I have to tell you, sitting beside him is hard because he has so much going on in his head at one time. He is like a calculator, and I keep going back just to the basics.
