Sonny Bono: “we again said we want vouchers, not for the rich, but for everybody so that they could choose what school their children…”

“we again said we want vouchers, not for the rich, but for everybody so that they could choose what school their children went to. I was not going to come down here, but I heard Congresswoman Woolsey talk about education. First of all, our budget increases education. It does not decrease. So, where or why she has concluded that it is a decrease is simply not the facts. It is so frustrating to come to this body and listen to talk or rhetoric or whatever you want to call it, and hear people just say whatever they want to say and it has nothing to do with the truth. I guess that is why I ran for office. Last night, the President talked about education. He revered education. Education is a wonderful thing, and as I said, we have increased funding for education. But he left out, I guess, kindergarten to elementary because in elementary schools now, they have barbed wire along the fences right now. I would love to send my children to a public school, but I would not dare.”
