“And I thank the gentleman, and I thank again Dr. Coburn and everybody else that has come to the floor today to debate the issues that affect Americans, to debate health care, to debate education, our firm belief that communities and teachers and parents should form the alliance to educate our children for the next generation instead of simply bureaucrats and politicians and Washington, D.C., to debate Social Security, to take pride in the fact that in just four short years we have put aside so much more to protect the solvency of the Social Security, especially when you consider that over 40 years our friends on the left did not put aside a single cent, to debate about other issues that have an impact on Americans like tax reform and tax relief for working class Americans. I have been very surprised that over the past few years every time we try to present a tax cut that would help Americans, that would help lighten the load for parents who want to educate their children, every time we have tried to pass an educational reform that would get dollars into the classroom, every time we have tried to pass educational reforms, every time we have tried to guarantee children in the inner city of the District of Columbia south of Anacostia River and points north the same opportunity that so many people in this Chamber are able to give to their children, every single time it is met with a veto.”
