Christopher J. Dodd: “I believe the President is absolutely correct. This is not a conflict that is going to be resolved quickly.”

I think the high rate at one point in the Nixon Administration is we were spending something close to 6 percent of the Federal budget on secondary and elementary education in this country, the Federal Government was.

I know what a bailout is. I have seen them around here. This does not even come close to falling into that category.

Putting that together, have we seen the wealthy, who were given huge tax cuts over the past 3 years, turn around and spend their tax cuts on these luxury items, while average workers of course have seen their wages stagnate?

As fewer and fewer people visit our great country, I think our economy is going to be hurt by that.
