I could not agree more. I do believe the debt course we are on, which is unsustainable--every expert and the witnesses who come before the Budget Committee on which Senator Enzi and I serve have told us it is unsustainable, and if we get off of it and tighten our belts and do things such as Governor Bentley in Alabama is doing, Governor Christie has had to do, Governor Brown is now facing in California-- they let that State go so far out of control, it is going to be difficult to bring it back--but they have to make tough choices. If we do that, I believe we will get some positive impact on the economy from the confidence that restores. I say to Senator Conrad, I see Senator Lieberman is here. I would be willing to yield if you are ready to use some time now.
