funding this. we need to change that behaviour and make america stronger, less dependent on china and actually curve inflation. if this is where we were in february when i first came down i'd be very optimistic that this would get solved right away. the structure has changed so we're in a better process. mitch, do you want to say anything else?- in a better process. mitch, do you want to say anything else? seven of the last 10. — want to say anything else? seven of the last 10, seven _ want to say anything else? seven of the last 10, seven of— want to say anything else? seven of the last 10, seven of the _ want to say anything else? seven of the last 10, seven of the last - want to say anything else? seven of the last 10, seven of the last ten i the last10, seven of the last ten debt— the last 10, seven of the last ten debt ceilings have carried something else put— debt ceilings have carried something else put up with the speaker and i are advocating here is not unusual. it's are advocating here is not unusual. it's more _ are advocating here is not unusual. it's more common than not. a perfect example _ it's more common than not. a perfect example of— it's more common than not. a perfect example of it — it's more common than not. a perfect example of it is the congressional review— example of it is the congressional review acts that we've been voting on periodically and congress to overturn. — on periodically and congress to overturn, it was done on a debt ceiling — overturn, it was done on a debt ceiling. during the clinton administration. this shouldn't be this hard — administration. this shouldn't be this hard. we know were not gonna
