[applause] that was pretty accurate at the time, but it is less accurate today. the united states is still a one-party state, the business party, but there is really only one faction. the republican party has pretty much departed from being a functioning parliamentary rganization. but that is not just any judgment. the very highly-respected conservative political analyst norman ornstein of the american enterprise institute, a right wing think tank, pointed out ecently an i think accurately, that the republican party has become what he called a radical insurgency, no longer committed to parliamentary participation. there's a lot of truth to that. we have seen it dramatically in he past couple of years. we're seeing it right now. just take a look at today's newspaper, the description of the house budget, basically the ryan budget.
