On the recordJune 26, 1997
It is not fair, and one of the reasons I am proud to support the Democrat plan is that we fulfill the commitment of giving over $35 billion; I believe it is over $40 billion, to education-related tax relief so anyone going to school can further their education to get a good job, and that graduate student will not actually see a tax increase. It is amazing to me that as we are talking about tax cuts today that for too many of my constituents they are going to see an actual tax increase, and I am not going to support a tax increase on those folks.

I love what you were saying about the fact that food at school should be no different than folding in the cost of riding the bus or some other service for children at school.
