And once you get in the business of having things that pass and are enacted into law, Now you got the country moving in the right direction and we can get more of the way down the road with regard to restoring our fiscal house to order.

This was to figure out how much we could do on a critical leverage point to make sure that we weren't hurting. the fiscal situation and to make as much progress as we could.

We sent up a budget that is 20% below non-defense cut from last year, which is the lowest level since fiscal year 17. If you adjust for inflation, it's the lowest since 2000. So that's something that you have to zoom out to be able to look at what's going on here and tell that story about all the moving parts.

Well, it depends on the specific funding that we're talking about. But we've identified $160 billion of waste, abuse, of reforms and savings that we are trying to make permanent. And so we will use the Impoundment Control Act, which Congress put in law in the 1970s. We're not big fans of it. We think it's unconstitutional.

And if we can get a majority vote on some of our rescissions bills, we're very happy to work with Congress. Our first rescissions bill on foreign aid and NPR and the Corporation for Public Broadcast should go up very soon. And I think that's going to be passed. I really do.
