But SILVIO knew how to get his priorities straight. and he could distinguish between the safety net for the helpless and the hopeless and the waste. fraud and abuse that feeds bureacracies and pork barrel politics and abusive special interests. He understood that. And because SILVIO was the voice of the voiceless. the waste was cut and the safety net was protected. This compassion he exhibited was tangible evidence. in my opinion. of his convictions about the meaning of Amorica. To this son of Italian immigrants. he reflected the values of his Italian heritage. and he fused those values with what being an American meant to him. He valued family above all. and education. and health. and hard work. and upward mobility. And since he had benefited from the generosity of the American experience. he dedicated his work therefore.
