We have blown it off the rails. When people are economically free and they have growth. They feel freer. They feel happier. Why is that? Because the wolf is not always at the door. They have moved beyond kind of that bare subsistence. That is really what I am finding as I go meet with my constituents. I talk to them. I am in a machine shop: What is going on here? Well, we have 18 workers. We think we could bring three more on. I said: Well, what is your problem? We have to find the workers, and we have to train them. We are going to invest in them and train them. That is what people are doing. That is what businesses, small and large, are doing. They are investing in people now. That is what you see when you have a good economy, because they want to bring people in. They need to bring people in.
