You know, we had water mains breaking. Yes. Flooding people's basements. Yeah. We have children dying in a van because the mother is homeless and she can't get a place to live. While We are giving hundreds of millions of dollars of tax breaks so that the rich people can become even richer. The money is there. I think we have money to invest in our education. We have the money to give our young people maybe $100,000 to start their new businesses because capital is the key. (1:05:52–1:06:02)
