Since im having a hard time breathing here too. Let me recognize the Ranking Member for his remarks. Aq very much and i recognize the circumstances are a bit unusual. I do want to make a couple remarks. To my friends on the democratic side if there are things in this building you dont like we are not responsible for any of it so this is a totally democratic written bill.

As i was reviewing the budget materials, madam secretary, this much was clear to me. That you are seeking to privatize Public Education. I believe, and ive had this conversation before with you, i believe its the wrong direction for our students and for our country. Instead, we ned to be moving toward expanding Public Policies, lake Early Childhood education, that we know helps students to succeed. We see this in our countries around the globe. They are not shrinking public support, but in fact, are expanding it. Ill get more into the consequences of the cuts that you are proposing, but i want to start by examining your privatization philosophy.
