I don't need to say anything, this speaks for itself...
Mr. Speaker! I believe that the answer to long term employment is in the United States Constitution. Well, let me say that a little differently. It's not in the Constitution of the United States - it should be in the Constitution of the United States. And one of these days we're going to get there.
We need to add to the Constitution the right to a family to have a decent home. What would that do for home construction - in this nation? What would that do for millions of unemployed people? He says we need to add to the Constitution the right to medical care. How many doctors would such a right create?
He says we need to add to the Constitution of the United States, the right to a decent education for every American. How many schools would such a right build from Maine to California? How many people would be put to work building roofs and designing every student with an iPod and a laptop? How many ghettos and barrios would actually be touched by such an amendment?
In fact, very little - that we pass in the Congress of the United States even touches the long term unemployed. Only thing that touches them that this Congress has access to, that can actually change their station in life, is the Constitution of the United States.
Mr. Speaker, there is an even greater America that's in front of us. It's the America that adds to our founding documents these basic rights...
