Our grandchildrens America

I got to hear a speech today on the floor of the United States House of Representatives by Democratic Congresswomen Gwen Moore of Wisconsin.  She was talking about the America she wanted her grandchildren to have.  After listening to her I was amazed.  She said that she wanted her grandchildren to have Head Start, WIC, immunizations and energy assistance.  Why would anyone hope that their grandchildren would be in a situation that they would need public assistance.
My hope for my grandchildren is that they have a good education so they can obtain a good career so they can afford to take care of their families without public assistance.  I do not want my grandchildren or my children to ever need public assistance.
