“I think the most disappointing aspect of this whole question that we have raised, and the challenge that we have put to the Department of Education is the instantaneous reflexive response from its secretary and from the White House saying we cannot find any efficiency savings in the Department. It is just not there. It is impossible. Stop looking. Go look somewhere else. And to continue to insist we can squeeze one penny of savings out of every dollar of expenditure means we have to hurt children, I think, is the wrong attitude and the wrong approach to take. I think the American people expect better of people in Washington.”
