The single difference between films for children and films for adults is that in films for children, there is always the option to start again, to create a new beginning. in films for adults, there are no ways to change things. what happened, happened.

I do think that republicans are flirting with their tax cut, which has always been the narcotic of republicans, that they in fact have to at some point, with any remote pretense of candor, abandon any pretense of a balanced budget.i mean, they talk about - because they are going to finance the tax cut by tax cuts. that's how they're going to do it. and i do think that the will is there right now in the congress to act. i think they will be as close to unity as you will see on capitol hill this year.
