Congress is never designed to make, to create a job. They're supposed to create an environment for entrepreneurs to create those jobs, like yourself, like myself. Now, though, it is 100% a national security issue. We're spending more on the national debt to service, not pay down, service national debt than we are in the military. If you look at any economist that is a world economist that looks at any country around the world, when you see those two matrix pass each other, there's a crisis and this, we're in that area right now.
