No, that's how I wouldn't use the word regulation. It is what we need are people entering government who believe that it is important or proud to say, you know, I work for this agency, that agency, and this is what we're doing. And we're doing it in an efficient, cost-effective, quality way.

We have beaten down government for so many years that it is hard even to attract those people into the bureaucracy.

What the right wing will do is say, oh, we don't need all these regulations and therefore we don't have to worry about the environment. We don't have to worry about bigotry and racism. I don't believe in that. But it shouldn't take you 28 years to go to make sure that a project is environmentally sound, for example. So you're right. I mean, they can use that. But I want to get back to this point.

Give you an example. I read something which to me was surprising and a bit shocking. Question to you. You are a Ph.D. candidate. Oh, we're already off the rails, Senator. We're already off the rails in a major university in physics and mathematics. OK, you're working on your Ph.D. Where are you going to go when you get that Ph.D. ?

That's what most people would think. But you know what? More and more of those folks in math, physics, they're going to Wall Street. Oh. They're using those skills for high-speed trading, to know how to manipulate the market, take advantage of the market. It takes a certain skill to do that. So you've got all these guys... I mean, again, it gets back to money being the end all of everything.

And I want to see us have a day come when somebody says, I am so excited. And by the way, in Finland, to some degree, they do that. Only the top students end up going into education. Do you know that in Finland? No. They did. It's a very prestigious job to be a teacher. I want to see that in America. Hey, I'm really proud to work at the Social Security Administration.

We're getting the benefits out on time. People are really excited and happy about it. Proud of what I'm doing. I want to see that pride. And I don't want to see young people just going out saying, I got to make more and more money. That's what life is about.

Sean Fain is the head of the UAW. And in my view, he's doing a great job. And not only did he win a very good contract for his workers, he raised issues which are now resonating all over the country. And one of the issues he raised is he said, you guys are making huge profits. You've made huge profits over the years.

And meanwhile, many of my workers, he had young people coming into the automobile factories making 17, 18 bucks an hour. CEOs making 25, $30 million a year. All right. And then he raised this question. He said, you know what? We want a 32-hour work week. That was part of his contract negotiations. And everyone said, Sean, you're crazy. What are you talking about, a 32-hour work week?
