This is precisely the right time to be bold and go bigger.

I actually will be part of the escort party for the President tonight, so I will try to put a plug in for your White House conference.

I don't think there is much doubt that a rapidly growing economy is kind of a precondition.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair.

I think most of my Republican colleagues share that view. We think we live in an extraordinarily dangerous world right now.

Probably when I talk to my police chiefs that I am privileged to represent, I always ask them what is your top problem? They say mental health every single time.

I also believe in strong support for Pell Grant recipients.

The purview of this subcommittee is broad. However, it is fair to say, historically, we have probably paid more attention to physical health than we have to mental health.

I really want to work to keep those disagreements in balance to where we could still have a bipartisan outcome and a bipartisan budget.

I would love to have the opportunity on another occasion to talk to you and address this and find out ways we could work together.

Tom, you can have a deal or you can have a fight, but you can't have both.

I am very concerned about the civics issue.

I am deeply concerned by a Federal Register notice published last month by your Department proposing competitive priorities for the national programs in civics.

I simply think that is a wrong sense of priority.

But that registry notice did not unite us. It is doing quite the opposite.

First, to all of you, thank you for your testimony. Just superb testimony, as the chairwoman said, across the board.

A proposed 41 percent increase for the Department of Education in a single year will leave the next generation saddled with the highest national debt our Nation has ever seen.

The level of proposed spending is simply unnecessary, irresponsible, and unacceptable.
