The American Dream, you laid it out there so well--job, family, home, ability to take care, kids off to school, good health care--the American Dream. When you get old, you've got Medicare, you have Social Security. That's really the foundation. However, what happened on this floor not more than an hour and a half ago will destroy that dream. Now, we have work to do; indeed, we do.
