So this is another one of those things where if you invest a little bit early on, you reap the rewards throughout the rest of your life.

But we're not doing those investments and we're going to suffer as a population for decades to come.

Well, it's people who are not vulnerable first.

If you can scramble to the top of the pile, you're probably going to be okay.

But it's everybody else at the bottom of the pile who's going to get left behind.

And nobody wins.

Nobody wins when we're not taking care of our most vulnerable people.

And hey, I got news for all of us out there.

At some point in our lives, we are all those vulnerable people.

Whether it's an illness or something tragic happens in our family, something is going to happen to you.

And you're not going to be powerful and rich and in a situation where you can control it.

They don't understand.

I live actually in a district that is big into forestry.

So northern Wisconsin is, it's a forest.

I mean, this is what we do.

We harvest lumber.

You have to maintain these forests.

And even our Congress people who represent here, who are Republicans, don't understand that it's not just about going into a forest and cutting down trees.

You have to plant new trees.

You have to make sure that these trees can grow, that you are growing the right kinds of trees.
