His old man was a politician; Now what do you think about that? He wore a politician's raincoat, he wore a politician's hat. He wore politician's trousers, and politician's shoes, And every Friday evening, he made the politician's news. Yet the gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education, or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our courage, nor our wisdom, nor our devotion to our country. It measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile, and it can tell us everything about America except why we are proud that we are Americans. - Robert Kennedy, March 18, 1968 jfklibrary.org
