Im not quite sure how realistit is but to do anything but to try to move on with the show, and flawed as it is, and try to take some corrective measures. But i agree with robert 100 in his assessment of that. I think were really at an impasse here, and i dont see those calling for a Transitional Government or mixed commission, i dont see them getting very far. Theres not a cohesive Institutional Force that really supports them in this, and as one paper wrote the other day, its been much more of an emotional response than realistic response. So okay. Thank you. Were going to be open for your questions, comments. Why dont you start us. Thank you.

So if youre going to add another 18 billion or so and oak oh within the house of publican caucus right now they will not go along with it. The strategy has been floated that maybe you wait and have an additional request in the next administration.
