“it is truly an outrage that we are here today debating how much money that we are going to spend on the weakest when the President and the Republican leadership want to make permanent tax cuts in this country to their country club friends to the tune of over $500 billion. And it is really worse for the poor people of Florida because we have a Governor, Jeb Bush, our own reverse Robin Hooder, deciding to spend the $6 billion on corporate welfare instead of making sure that the State can afford and look after all of its children. Perhaps I should remind the Governor and the President of Ril-ya Wilson, the poor little girl from Florida. I have a picture here. Ril- ya Wilson, the poor little girl from Florida that has been missing for 15 months. It is so sad that the Republicans can come up with all of these little slogans, Leave No Child Behind, well, my question is where is the beef? Where are the resources to make sure that this does not happen to other children in this country?”
