It seems like, you know, The Senate is a rather small place compared to the House. And, and this is going to be something that Republicans are going to have to do. Democrats are not going to help us at all. For some reason they think a multit dollar tax increase is a good idea. But of course, they're the party of bigger government. We want to cut the government, we want to cut federal spending, we want to bring down inflation, which was exacerbated by the spending spree that we saw the last four years. (02:49–02:58)
