How about the common good? How about the good of everybody where everybody contributes and everybody benefits. The common good. Rising tide lifts all boats, Mr. Delahunt. Everybody benefits from our economic policy, not this stuff. How is this good for society? The guy in the pickup truck is paying $57 to fill up gas tanks and the oil companies are making $113 billion in profits, 5.4 million are following into poverty, tuition costs triple. Health care is up how many percent above the rate of increase in wages? All of these things say that this Republican Congress and Republican administration is about a very small group of people. All we are making the argument more here is we are America. We are a family. Where is the American family, Ms. Wasserman Schultz? Let us start worrying about all of us. Because if we lose a couple, it is bad for everybody. I yield to my friend.
