On the recordSeptember 12, 1995
Republicans in Congress seem to enjoy destruction more than they do creation. They have attacked our Nation's children and young adults. Republicans in Congress have slashed education more than $36 billion. And why? To pay for the monstrous tax breaks that they have proposed for their wealthiest supporters. By slashing our education budgets, our kids will have more overcrowded classrooms, fewer computers, and fewer teachers. The Republican plans will cut Head Start by 45,000 kids by 1996. They will cut $23 million from the Safe and Drug-Free Schools Program and, ultimately, deny many millions of students access to college education by cutting back on direct student loans and the Pell Grant Program. Mr. Speaker, we know the Republicans do not care about the Nation's children and we also know they do not care about public education. After all, most of their kids are in private schools anyway.
