I thank the gentleman for yielding. Let me just say, I don't think anyone on this side of the aisle is not prepared to work collaboratively on the question of the deficit, on the question of growing America's economy and working with our children.

And that's what the Democrats are talking about, investing in our children, making their lives better.
