“I am struck by what our colleague, the gentleman from Texas, tells us tonight, because we have seen example after example, sadly, of this President and this administration saying one thing and then doing another. In fact, I think about the historic budget agreement that was reached last year by this allegedly do-nothing Congress to balance the budget for the first time in a generation, to set up budget caps, ceilings that were to remain inviolate. Now, as my colleague, the gentleman from Texas, points out, in the last nanosecond of the 11th hour, perhaps based on focus groups and extensive polling, suddenly, education becomes the watchword; sadly, not in an effort to improve education, which we believe is too important to be left up to Washington bureaucrats, but because of the endless posturing and preening and electioneering that continues, regardless of the dates on the calendar, but now has grown more frenetic and frantic, given the constitutional questions that confront us, and also our constitutional heritage of an election that approaches the first Tuesday following the first Monday in November.”
