We're going to debate tomorrow about $6 billion here. Well, that's a day and a half of deficit. We're going to bring in around $2.1 trillion for this year, and we're going to spend $3.6 trillion.

It is for the good of the children that this body man up across the aisles and quit spending money that our children don't even have.
