I guess it all depends on where you sit. I must read one more thing that Leon Panetta said during his time in Congress because my staff gave it to me. I actually thought it was something that I had just said the other day because I was talking about the fact that my father is an immigrant to this country and how important it was for us to leave the next generation better off than the generation that we now live in. Back on May 4. 1989. CONGRESSIONAL RECORD. Leon Panetta said: We have presented over the last 8 years a pleasant message that somehow everyone can have a free lunch in this country. That is not the case. That is not the message that my parents heard when they came to this country as immigrants with little education. little money. but a great deal of hope. They came for the opportunity that this country offered and the willingness to make a sacrifice for their children so their children could enjoy a better life. We now face a situation where our children may not enjoy a better standard of living than we had.
