what he said before about it? >> well, god bless him. he has been holding it so far. one of the things he has pointed out is the dishonesty and the accounting for all of this. they have decided to have some of these programs launch them -- have them terminate after a year with the expectation that they are not going to end after a year. but, by in theory limiting them to one year, the score is lower. so, senator manchin is on to that he has called them out on that. he gets the idea that making middle income and upper middle income americans dependent on government makes no sense. so i'm hoping he sticks to his guns. you know, i don't know, he has said there is some elements of this that he can support. so, in the end there is something that passes with his support. i don't know exactly. i hope it's not something they are considering right now -- >> bret: senator pat toomey, we appreciate your time. >> thanks for having me, bret.
