“the President's late night, quiet veto this week of Education Savings Accounts--timed in order to miss the evening news--means that those that produced generations of education failure have dodged the bullet again. The other side should explain to America why encouraging parents to save for their children's education is a bad thing. Oh, they are long on heart-warming rhetoric about their care and compassion for ``the children'' and for ``education;'' but when it comes to education reform legislation that threatens the special interests that gave us these failing schools in the first place, they are woefully short on action. They send their own kids to private schools, but then they tell working parents who want to save for their children's education ``no.'' Madam Speaker, Republicans in Congress are not content to simply talk about ``the children,'' we will fight for children, and for the world-class education they deserve. We will continue the fight for working parents who want to be able to save for their children's education through Education Saving Accounts.”
