I mean, if they were actually serious about cutting spending, and we do seriously have a debt problem, hello, then they would be grownups and say, okay, you know, we got to talk about reforming Social Security and Medicare.

But as we said earlier, they're not doing that. They won't do that. And, you know, all of this other stuff is just nibbling around the edges, honestly, if it's a matter of cost savings. I mean, on the matter of policy, it is significant.

What I was trying to say is that, well, first of all, throat clearing. There's the whole problem of it being completely unconstitutional to try to change this via executive order. It's in the Constitution.

They said they were upholding.
