“I have been interested and I want to personally thank the distinguished Senator from Ohio for the excellent remarks he has made today. He has brought this whole matter into focus when he talks about the effects on his children and his grandchildren. I feel exactly the same. Elaine and I have 6 children, and our 15th grandchild is on the way. We have 14 now, but the 15th will be here in a couple of months, and who knows when there might be some others. We are not sure. The fact of the matter is we are very concerned about them. I am concerned about all the children, and grandchildren. The Senator from Ohio makes a good point. There will not be child care moneys if we do not get things under control. There will not be job training moneys. Forget about Job Corps. What about welfare? What money we have will not be worth anything. What about Social Security, if money becomes devalued through inflation and, therefore, worthless? How are people going to live? How are people going to live? There are people today in this affluent society who barely get by. Can you imagine what it will be like for the unlucky ones of the future? Such things should not happen. We ought to do something about it. But I will say, it will be everybody who will have trouble getting by if we keep going the way we are going. I am not just using scare tactics. It is true. Everybody knows it. People feel it.”
