Well, I can tell you, we can have a society by design or by default. We can just let it all go as it will. I was very moved earlier by the tribute that our colleagues on a bipartisan basis made to Senator Lautenberg upon his passing. And once again, here's an example of an American who ultimately became very wealthy, but it was because America embraced him with their values. He went to school on the GI bill. He was able to go to school. He did not have any wealth. And because he was an American and an American soldier, he was able to benefit from our community of interests to build not only a great senator, but great economic enterprises and a lot of jobs that he created. That's the way America is supposed to work. And we need to realize that educational opportunity is one of our basic strategies for staying on top in a global economy.
