Well, I appreciate that very much. I would like to follow up on that with something that our friend across the aisle said before us tonight. He said that when this bill passes, we'll have a lot to run on, and I agree. And I think they'll need to be running a great deal after this bill were to pass because the vast majority of Americans don't want it to pass. That's very clear. So you ask yourself, Why would the majority of the House of Representatives and the Senate and the President try to cram a bill down the throat of a majority of Americans that don't want the bill when it could hurt them politically? Well, there is so much government in this bill that they know if this bill passes, then the government intrusion, whether you want to call it socialism or progressivism, it's the government taking over such a massive part of our lives, basically taking over our lives. But I would want to point out page 100 of the Senate bill.
