I mean, again, We need to recognize what we're talking about right now is funding fiscal year 2011. That budget should [have] been passed last summer when the Democrats controlled the House, the Senate, and the White House, but they didn't pass a budget.

We should get that behind us quickly so that we can start addressing, you know, we're going to start hitting up against the debt ceiling. (02:54–03:09)
