I guess I would have added, to tell that gentleman, following on this marriage analogy, the honeymoon is over for the big spenders. That is what this Congress has been about. We have changed the culture of Washington. We are going to continue to do it. As the gentleman you stated, on day one, to me the reform that meant the most to me was making sure that Congress lived by the same laws as every other American. When we live under these laws, we may be a little less likely to want to pass all these great ideas, so-to-speak, and bring back common sense as the gentleman from Minnesota has clearly stated. This has been a great session so far this year. We are going to continue to keep fighting. I think the things to keep in mind over the next month or two are the fact that we are going to balance the budget, we are going to reform welfare, we are going to provide tax relief for working families, and we are going go save Medicare, and do those things. Promises made, promises kept. We kept our Contract With America. Now we are going to keep our contract with our senior citizens and keep our contract with those working families, and keep the contract with my daughter Madeleine to make sure her future is brighter, she is not saddled with this huge debt.

I am a little worried that my friends across the aisle just do not get it. While the Republican majority is working hard to revolutionize Congress, the Democrats keep trying to change the subject. It seems to be an epidemic across the…

it comes back, there is a right way and a wrong way to come across the border, and the ends do not justify the means. Once again, that is taking the jobs away from working Americans when someone comes across the border the wrong way. Once…
