pennsylvania, now an nbc news political analyst ed rendell. good to have you with us tonight. i mean, it's not in one state. it's in a number of states. and they just all happen to have republican governors and the cuts go far beyond balancing any budget. i mean, this is so agenda driven. the millionaires get the breaks and the kids in the classroom are going to pay the price. what are they doing here, governor? >> no question, ed. as bad as the collective bargaining assault is the assault on public education is worse because we are mortgaging our future, pennsylvania's future, florida's future, ohio's future, michigan's future. you can't countenance these cuts particularly when in those states we're not -- not only not increasing business taxes to share the pain but we'reรง cuttg business taxes. we're giving corporations, many of whom don't need it, tax breaks and we're punishing children. and it's interesting. people are always fond of saying money doesn't make a difference
