26% is borrowed. So we still get requests to make sure we keep spending levels high or to come up with new programs. I think Any congressman who at this time is wanting new programs or expanding old programs is just being totally irresponsible. But if you're ever talking to your friends out there and they say we shouldn't be spending more here or why isn't he more there, we're borrowing 26% of our budget. (44:10–44:19)
