The Senator from South Dakota is an experienced member of the Budget Committee and a member of the leadership on the Republican side in the Senate. Isn't it true that we had more interest from Members wanting to join the Budget Committee this year, particularly new Members who had gotten elected and talked to their constituents about their fear of America's debt and they wanted to be on the Budget Committee, and only a few could be selected out of the group who wanted to be on it? What has been the Senator's observation as to how they have reacted to the fact that no budget has been presented; that the committee has never met or even marked up and held hearings as the United States Code requires? Maybe the Senator can share how they feel about this.
