“when the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Brown) was talking about Timken and all the issues with China and how it really has tilted the playing field to benefit really the top 1 or 2 percent of the people who can benefit from the increase in stock prices and the increase in their own personal wages because they have to pay someone 50 cents an hour, as opposed to $50 an hour with health care benefits and all that, I think what we are trying to say here, beginning to wrap up, is all we are trying to do here is to create a system where everybody gets to play along. It is like there are only certain kids that can get into the sandbox, and if you are not born to the right gene pool or you are not born in the right hospital or in the right neighborhood or belong to the right church, somehow you do not get to play. All we are saying is, there are ways that the government throughout the history of this country has played a role in moving these people along. We mentioned earlier with the Title I funding, which deals with at-risk youths who need help, Title I funding, the 2005 President's budget underfunded it by $7.2 billion. $7.2 billion. So we could talk about China, and we are getting our clock cleaned, and the top 1 percent is really benefiting. The question the American people are asking and the people in my district are asking is, how do we help those people who are not able to play along?”
