“I am disturbed about the continuing budget resolution that was passed today in which the money for drug-free schools zones was deleted from the budget, so there will be no money for drug-free school zones. So, when the Speaker points to this as an example of merely words, I would have to remind the Speaker that his budget priorities have encouraged the use of drugs in drug-free school zones in schools across this country and not fight them. So, while we may ask for Judge Baer to resign, maybe we should ask the Speaker to renew the funding for drug-free school zones. But, Mr. Speaker, funding of our Government on a week-to-week basis is shortsighted, destructive, and an irresponsible way that we could possibly manage the risks and the tasks of running the greatest country in the world.”
