Lucas for President: Take Back America!

Madam Speaker I have a grave problem with this Bill. Actually, I have a problem with just one line of it.
So for the next 6 years, we are going to sign a blank check, with unlimited appropriations for a program we don't know the cost of? If someone proposed this in the real world, they'd be laughed out the room. The sponsor needs to come up with a cost if this legislation is to be treated seriously. I yield. |

Madam Speaker, I would like to begin by apologizing to the Gentleman from Texas, as I believe I am about to steal some of his usual lines. Education is primarily a local matter, and secondarily a state matter. It is only from a tertiary point of view a Federal issue. Indeed, it could reasonably be argued that the primary purpose of the Federal Government should be to offset local conditions and ensure that sufficient funding is available on a per student basis. Therefore, as respectful as I am of the idea, and given how respectful the State of Florida is as it enacted a VPK program several years ago, I truly have to question the need for this bill at such a time. I yield the floor, but retain the balance of my time. |
