William F. Goodling said "I just want to point out two things. We are hearing a lot about where the money should go. Keep in mind now, we are talking about 75 percent of the population that has been pretty well ignored because they do not receive a 4-year college degree. We have to make sure that that 75 percent is ready to enter the high tech jobs that are out there, if we are going to remain competitive. I would also like to point out that with the formula contained in the bill, the nine largest cities in the country, receive anywhere from a 12.7-percent to 17.2-percent increase. But we are talking about 75 percent of our population that we really have to deal with and deal with promptly if we are going to remain competitive in this United States." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
