emergency. we ought to be talking about that. i think the president is going to talk about infrastructure. those things do fall into that. is he going to fix 58,000 bridges with his infrastructure plan? you re bringing a guest, a special guest tonight that i think does personify a lot of these issues that you deal with in your home state. i m bringing dennis corn, a former ups driver who will have a substantial cut to his pension if congress doesn t act. to me, when you look at rural issues and you look at the industrial midwest, that feels particularly left behind, this issue of pensions is critical. we ve got to fix it. we have a great bill designed by a group of us, led by senator brown from ohio called the butch lewis, an amazing organizer and patriot and advocate and veteran who died in this fight.
