Tomorrow, we're going to take up another short-term continuing resolution. In the meantime, today, tomorrow, the next day, we will be borrowing $4 billion a day that we don't have to pay the deficit that this administration is running. 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 irresponsible. It is reprehensible. For years, we've heard: For the good of the children. 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. Let's vote ``no'' until we can do some real saving.
