saxby chambliss and i are working on taking the president's commission that got 11 out of 18 votes. it is not perfect by any means, but we will introduce that as legislation. it is put up or shut up time. i think we will have a broad based plan that will say the single largest threat to our long-term economy is not thinking of the short-term challenges we face right now and getting our nation's balance sheet in order. that is going to take both sides. we will have dramatic cutbacks on spending. it will need meaningful tax reform. that is part of what simpson bowles did in lowering the rate. in certain cases, it creates the revolution we need. that does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that 24% of gdp and revenue at 18% is not acceptable. i think you'll hear a lot more about it. it will not disappear. you do not want to play russian roulette with the world's economy. time will prove that out. i trust you like a brother, but i am not going to share all the strategy.
