 I think we need a functioning government. That's what we need. We are a large country with lots of people and lots of programs and services that do all sorts of things that we as everyday middle-class Americans need. We need functioning public schools. We need well-equipped social security systems that can support our seniors. We need all of these things to function together. We need roads and bridges that are built by workers who are well-qualified and will make sure they don't fall over.
