Political Quotes

“It is correct that the Federal Government only applies about 7 percent of the total financing of all K-12 education in the United States of America. But here is something else which is a fact. This is an absolute fact. In the first 5 years of the last decades, while the Democrats were in charge of the Congress of the United States of America and there was a Republican President and then a Democratic President, the increase for funding in education in the very budget that we are talking about here was 6 percent per year. In the last 5 years, not including this year, while Republicans have been in charge of the funding mechanism for education in the United States of America, the increase has been, on average, 8.2 percent per year, a difference of 2.2 percent. So I just want to put that little argument to rest.”
