I thank the Senator. What the Senator is outlining is an extraordinary assault not just on education but on the knowledge economy. I want to bring manufacturing jobs back to this country, but I understand--I think everybody…

So it can't be about helping us create jobs or supporting our economy. This is, no doubt, an assault on the economy. One of the complaints that I hear often about elementary and secondary education is that the Department of Education was…

OK. Maybe it is the same agenda with Social Security, just come up with an excuse to privatize it all. Just take all the money that is going to good, public sector research and just move it all into the private sector so it can be a source…
