Because, as both of us have indicated--I know you have indicated in Connecticut; I have indicated it in Michigan--there are those who are doing very well, certainly in my State. They have the same concerns as everybody else about being safe and secure.

Isn't that what the Senator is suggesting, that we look at our priorities and decide what is most important in terms of safety and security?
