BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SCHWEIKERT. Mr. Speaker, I no longer have to speak because he just took care of the speech for me.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SCHWEIKERT. The classic problem of--you are a brilliant lawyer. I am sort of a walking accountant or walking calculator. We both serve different--and a lot of people in the public don't understand--we serve different committees and they take over our life. You sit on Judiciary. Are you also on Oversight?

Mr. SCHWEIKERT. Oh, so your life is hell.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SCHWEIKERT. Yeah. Your life is hell. I do Joint Economic Committee and Ways and Means. That is actually one of the elegance the Founding Fathers gave us is, we eventually end up where we are good. In some ways, I always loved the yin and yang thing here where you are doing the legal stuff and then I am going to actually sort of pound on the math.
