A number of Democrats voted for this extension back in March. It's not adding or detracting anything. It's just continuing the levels of spending that currently exist. Actually, it's not levels that we agreed to. Democrats strongly opposed this legislation in the House because in our view, it got veterans health care, gut funding for Women Infants and children programming, gut funding for affordable housing. And we know we have a housing country. Housing cost here, though. It's not. It's not changing current levels. Nothing's getting cut. It's at levels that you may not like, but. (05:20–05:32)
