Cass Ballenger said "nothing we do here in Congress can be accomplished alone. Today I want to thank my colleagues on both sides of the aisle who have worked to make the 106th Congress' record one of accomplishment and not of partisan gridlock. This Congress has passed some of the most solid education reform ever brought before this body, measures that will give parents and teachers more flexibility to meet students' unique needs. But that is not all. We have also worked tirelessly to pay off our national public debt, which is saddling children born this year with a $13,300 debt burden. Our debt relief measure also saves the average household an estimated $4,000 in interest payments over the next 10 years. Think of what American families can do with that $4,000 in additional income. The 106th Congress has an agenda for success, and I am proud to be part of it." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
