One of the things we talk about all the time is how important education is. And what this budget does, the Democratic substitute, is actually put money where our mouths are. That is the most important investment we can make, is in our children. One of the things I find ironic about the Republican budget is that they cut 40,000 children out of Head Start, for example. And yet all the research shows us that that is the vital age for children to learn, and it is so important for them to have a good start.
