“what is extreme about today's action is that once again the House Republicans are turning their back on America's children. Today the House Republicans are taking a hike on America's education for its children, because today the House Republicans are confirming their position against that of the Senate, where a bipartisan coalition has determined that America's children deserve this support for education. It is one thing to get up here and read off all these programs of cosmetology. There are no title I children enrolled in those schools. Why are you cutting the title I children? There are no high school children enrolled in those schools. Why are you cutting those children from this program? That is what is extreme. You talk about one thing and you do another. You ought to go back to your schools, as I do every Monday, and visit with the title I children, visit with the school programs and talk to them. Then you will understand how extreme your position is, how you are playing Russian roulette every 7 days with the education of our children, with our teachers, with our parents and with our communities. Every 7 days you threaten to shut down the Government. That is what is extreme.”
