Political Quotes

“I want the parents and the students who are high school seniors and college students to understand that there is a program out there called disinformation, disinforming the public. They are trying to scare you into the idea that somehow or other, because we are in the leadership at the present time, we are going to destroy your loans and we are going to destroy your grants. They know very well that we increase both the Pell grants and the student loans. To those who are not going on to a 4-year institution, they would probably have you believe that somehow or other we are not concerned about that 75 percent who never complete a 4-year education. The opposite is true. That is why we worked so hard in the last couple of years to get the careers bill through the House of Representatives, through the Senate, so we can concentrate on that 75 percent who are going to have to have the best skills, the highest skills, the best work ethic, in order to have our country compete with the rest of the world, or otherwise there are no jobs for anybody. For those who are in high school, all we ask from our Federal expenditures is quality. All we demand is excellence.”
