"America's Cold War veterans deserve every honor we can bestow upon them for their hard work and dedication to keeping our nation safe,". "The Cold War Service Medal would allow military service members, veterans, and their families to receive the recognition and honor they rightfully deserve. I will continue to work with my colleagues to ensure our veterans receive the support and care they and their families need. It's the least we can do as a grateful nation."

Blanche Lincoln

We should continue to grow our economy and create employment opportunities, particularly quality jobs to help the upward mobility of young people.

Carrie Lam

The way of Jesus is radically different. It is the way not of upward mobility but of downward mobility. It is going to the bottom, staying behind the sets and choosing the last place! Why is the way of Jesus worth choosing? Because it is the way to the Kingdom, the way Jesus took, and the way that brings everlasting life.

Henri Nouwen

My story is the story of many postwar British families. Upward mobility. A council house and then new affluence.

Sarah Waters

Programs funded by the Department of Labor have already opened doors for many Americans to become apprentices, particularly veterans, women and minorities. But government alone cannot equip the American workforce for the jobs of tomorrow. The private sector must lead.

Eugene Scalia

We are a nation of immigrants, a quilt of many colors, and we've managed over more than two centuries to create a way of life that allows for a reasonable degree of upward mobility, that prizes individual liberty, promotes freedom of religion and genuinely values equal rights for all citizens.

Jay Parini

It is an honor to support strong legislation to make it easier for our veterans to receive the care promised to them by a grateful nation.

We know that the enemy of upward mobility is not poverty or even other people's success. The enemy of upward mobility is apathy and an educational system that offers choice to the privileged and traps the most vulnerable in unsafe and poor performing schools.

Rachel Campos-Duffy

Yes and no. Because America has only about 1 percent of the population serving in the military, it is hard for many civilians to understand the sacrifices military families make. However, my experience is that after the Vietnam War, the public learned that they should support the military whether or not they support the war. You've seen that outpouring of support for the veterans of both Iraq and Afghanistan.

Steve Stivers

If you knew the upward mobility that South Dakota's kids have gotten from the opportunity to intern and to work and to be employed and to have upward mobility in that company and move on, it's been phenomenal for South Dakota.

Bill Janklow

Low rents mean families have more resources to improve their quality of life and invest in the next generation, facilitating upward mobility.

Carrie Lam

Lower-income immigrant families might receive more in benefits than they pay in taxes. But that mathematical equilibrium is temporary, and an artifact of the way the tax-and-transfer system is structured to help lower-income families and to support families with kids.

Annie Lowrey

Lawmakers should focus on building strong coalitions, including across the aisle, as they create, draft, and develop effective legislation.

Abigail Spanberger

We believe that the government has an important role to create the conditions that promote entrepreneurship, upward mobility, and individual responsibility.

Paul Ryan

Recipients of transfers set a bad example for others, including their children, other relatives, and friends, who see that one can receive goods, services, or money from the government without earning them. The onlookers easily adopt an attitude that they, too, are entitled to such transfers. They have fewer examples of hardworking, self-reliant people in their families or neighborhoods.
