“The argument by the Senator from Arizona is not apt. It is a false analogy. Why? Because we are talking in the main about parents who currently are working, who are currently relying upon the current tax provisions. We are not talking about those who may or may not be considering going to that institution. We are talking about those currently working there. This will be taken away from them. Some of these people are working hard. They are taking a big cut in pay to work at an educational institution so their kids get educated. We are saying: take it away. You have been working there. We are leaving that family high and dry. I think it is the wrong thing to do. There is a proper time to deal with these provisions. This is not the time. It is a bad amendment anyway. Let's figure out ways to give benefits for kids to go to school, not to take them away.”
