We can no longer accept the status quo that says Washington has all the answers and more money will fix a broken education system.

We have to have comprehensive reform.

There are few issues more important to the strength of the nation's economy than education.

Washington should not stand in the way of these and other meaningful reforms that improve the quality of education for our children.

Indiana today--it was announced yesterday--leads the nation in access to advanced placement exams with more minority students taking those exams than ever before.

We believe to approach this issue and to approach the complexity of these issues, we must do this with comprehensive education reform in Indiana.

I have always thought that we have missed the bet in a lot of cases where you have somebody who loves math...

Flexibility and balancing that with the accountability we must insist on--otherwise, once again, there will be creativity of local districts to hide students and to hide their performance.

This is the wrong time to hurt small business owners. I will have to pull the plug.

If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan, despite indications that insurance companies are now dropping everything from children's insurance to mini med plans.

Despite President Obama's frequent promises that his health care plan would lower premiums by $2,500 per year for an average family.

My strong sense from employers with the agreement of their employees to drop employer-sponsored health insurance for as many as 35 million Americans.
