mo it's not going to stop me now. it's an honor to be here and i mean that sincerely. look, i want to start off by saying at the biden institute, we're delighted that brookings has taken up the mantle and they have all along to deal with the middle class. i know for years and years i look at alice and some other others here, i've been characterized in washington as middle class joe. in washington it was never meant as a compliment. it meant i wasn't that sophisticated. i'm pretty sophisticated about the middle class and about the history of nations who are unable to sustain a middle class and what happens to their prospects, short term and long term. i think we're at a very, very -- we're at what some might call an inflection point right now and the decisions we make i think in the next several years are going to say an awful lot about what kind of life our children and grandchildren are going to be leading. and there's no reason why it shouldn't be brighter than the ones we've led. i want to thank you, brookings, again, for hosting the event. the future of the middle class is a critical new venture here at brookings and in many ways, the focus on the work being done
