We write the laws for the entire country. But beyond that, the biggest thing that we do is we hand out money. We are the ones, and that's what we're not doing right now. When everybody's like, oh, the government is about to shut down, what does the shutdown mean? That means that we're about to stop delivering money. So we are supposed to appropriate all the money. So when people say, hey, we gotta pay our taxes, whether it's corporate taxes, personal taxes, whatever monies we actually collect into the treasury, we have to then disseminate that money.
