Tim Ryan: “This is the moral argument of our generation. I agree with you 100 percent, but I think there is an economic component…”

On the recordNovember 8, 2005
This is the moral argument of our generation. I agree with you 100 percent, but I think there is an economic component of this, too. If we are going to be a great nation economically, we need to have healthy children, who are going to be able to go to school and learn so that they can become scientists and engineers, so that we can drive this economy through the 21st century. As much as it is a moral imperative, it is an economic imperative that will continue to make the United States of America a strong country economically and militarily.
