You know, even some of our appropriators voted no because, you know, the explanation was what undercuts the appropriation process. But let me describe that process that it's undercutting. I've been here 15 years, We should have passed 180 appropriation bills before the end of the fiscal year to fund the next year. We've passed 6, so 96.7% failure rate. And my Elaine shutdowns or my Eliminate Shutdowns act is supposed to undermine that process. By the way, nothing could be further from the truth. (08:34–08:41)
