“like another Member who came up earlier today, I want to talk about the President's veto of the rescissions bill. The President, of course, does not think it is a good bill. I think the bill has problems, too, but obviously not for the same reasons that the President thinks. I do not think it goes far enough. I do not think it shows enough courage. If you want to talk about saving education programs and saving education, you need to do it back in the States. We left some money in for Goals 2000. I think Goals 2000 needs to be zeroed out. We need to get to a point in this Congress where we believe that our parents and our teachers and our communities are not so stupid that they do not know how to educate their own children. Let us educate children at home and let Washington bureaucrats worry about what Washington bureaucrats worry about. The President needs to come forward with some real spending cuts and show some leadership, for a change. That is something he has not done in these first 5 months of Congress, and it is something that he needs to do or else we are not going to be able to balance our budget.”
