On the recordJune 4, 1998
Do you not think it is time that mothers and fathers have the power to be able to get their kids the best education they can possibly get and that most of the money ought to be put in the classroom? Those are the kind of things that I think most Americans want. I think they want to be in charge. I think they want to be in control. I think they want to have their job training run at home. I think they want local control of education. I think they want public housing at the local level to reflect local values. Now, that is the new way. The old way is we run it from here. We train a few people who really do not know what goes on in our community, then they tell us what to do. That makes some people happy, but it does not make most Americans happy. That is why we are winning.
