[0:42] It's not a bad thing.
[1:00] and money from separately funded areas.
[1:01] We saw this in the cities, and it's also true in the suburbs.
[1:02] So we have a special fund in those areas, especially in places like the highway business fund.
[1:04] In the cities, we have utility funds and the highways response.
[1:05] And if you're in the situation, you can have great, great strength in that area.
[1:07] And all of those funds, for the purpose of almost the cost of this, to attach in a separate way, that helps to put together funds here, depending on how you account for them.
[1:29] This whole bust of the highway trust fund discussion, it's an incredible discussion that I hope you account for, and you treat that in part over time, because once it's broken, once it goes, then that whole restraint and power that I don't think is going to be shown to the general public.
[1:36] You would resist the abrasion on your self?
[1:37] That's right.
[1:55] I'm interested to get into energy problems, pollution problems, and so forth.
[1:58] I think that was very powerful.
[2:01] Very powerful voices from the other side.
[2:08] Thank you for talking to us.
[2:11] Thank you.
[2:12] Thank you.
[2:28] Excuse me, can I ask you a question?
[2:39] I've got a question going on here.
[2:43] It works.
[2:44] It works.
