“As we move from budget and taxes to appropriations, we learn the true priorities of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle. We have seen a trillion dollar tax cut, and we have seen this trillion dollar tax cut divided into smaller pieces: Marriage tax and estate tax. But the bottom line is these are tax cuts which are targeted at a very few of our most privileged in our society. Now we bring forward today an education bill which provides no money for critical school modernization, for class size reduction, and for targeting low performing schools. Mr. Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues to vote against this misguided legislation.”
