I listened to the speech. I think he forgot to use the word "Christian", as in, "it's the Christian thing to do." He seems to constantly forget who he's talking to that way ...
He really thinks that Republicans are earnestly pro patria. He doesn't remember Hoovervilles...and that quite a few are ready to let the devil take the hindmost, on principle.
The entire vision that he grew up accepting, apparently, that we care for each other, doesn't seem to also carry the sense that entire vision has historically been constantly against the rocks and not because of any need to "prove that we can afford it"...
