I am glad this reunion happened. You inspire us to continue going forward. I want to ask the gentleman from New York--I have been to Manhattan. It reminds me a lot--Manhattan and Brooklyn and Queens and Harlem-- reminds me a lot of what we see in Silicon Valley and San Francisco, just the young entrepreneurial minds. But when we go to these startup spaces or these incubator hubs, I constantly hear how much student loan debt affects their ability to invest in themselves and their businesses, and we are finding that our generation is the least entrepreneurial generation America has ever known at our time. I am wondering if you have heard stories about that and how it is limiting investment.
