Okay, so I heard support for both increasing the cap and raising more revenue by some kind of change to the tax code. Yeah. Listen, this is a easy to understand problem. We have these fiscal restraints. We're vastly underfunding education. Many of you heard about the BS factor. Yes, it's BS. It stands for budget stabilization for 15 years. We hollowed out education funding. We mortgaged our future. That's unacceptable. (04:53–04:58)
