I thank Mr. Cardenas very much for his hard work, too. Mr. Speaker, reauthorization is an opportunity to improve legislation. Unfortunately, the pending Republican bill reduces nutrition standards and kicks kids off the school meal programs. Instead, we should be improving the program and expanding the child nutrition and the school lunch programs. I thank my colleagues for saying why this is so important. I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________

Student loan debt now exceeds $1.7 trillion. Borrowers need clear guidance and certainty.
The repeal represents the federal government walking away from that responsibility, which jeopardizes the hard-fought progress we have made.
When they talk about returning it to the states and making America great again, they’re talking about returning to how it was before 1954.
The sweeping changes to the federal student loan system originating from that law are compounding the issues that have risen from the dismantling of the Education Department.
