Madam speaker pro tem, in a moment, I'm going to yield to the gentleman from Texas because he needed a couple of minutes to share some things. But I want to make the point.

We worked through the math and the scale of the actual problems ahead of us, and then we actually laid out ways we could make a better, healthier, more productive, more prosperous society. Is this body actually capable of reading a couple chapters, working with us and saying, okay, maybe we could adopt some policies that crash borrowing, grow the economy, and make everyone's lives better?
