On the recordFebruary 25, 2010
The tax cuts that were passed helped my family. It didn't help some of the families out there now struggling with unemployment. It is, in fact, the stimulus money that has gone to Kentucky, gone to Illinois, gone to Missouri, gone to Oregon, gone to Alaska, and gone to Rhode Island. That is what is allowing these State legislatures to keep from making massive layoffs of public school teachers. There would be massive cuts in education in Missouri this year, and, frankly, no cuts in public education would be popular in Missouri. I asked the Missouri legislators: What will you cut if we pull the stimulus?
