That one thing is. The reality is the administrations had the money to do everything its wanted to do. This bill provides more money on top of that. Our senators are proposing even more, so we go to conference to figure out the appropriate amount and whether or not and to what degree it should be paid for. I hope its all paid for. It should be because we have the funds to do that. So to suggest that theres some sort of failure of funding is simply not true. And my friends know its not true. To suggest were not willing to put the money here would suggest that recent history has no relevance because we put more money here than the president asked us to put and we committed to put even more going forward. So i would the only difference here and what drives my friends into a frenzy is that we actually want to pay for this. They simply dont. They think, lets just put another 1. 9 billion on the National Credit card. This is a great excuse to do that. Well, were not prepared to do that, but
Have heard former callers talking about education in a way that breaks my heart.

If we dont have a welleducated workforce, we lose the advantage because we will not be able to compete by saying bring your jobs to americ
House and senate . The house going to conference was a little unexpected. There was a rules Committee Late last night to get the house to go ahead and go to conference with the senate. But they come the lawmakers in the senate and the house arrive at very different places in conference. The republicans in the house ve approved a 622 million emergency aid package. Actually its not emergency its just supplemental offset which means they have spending cuts elsewhere to pay for the measure. On the senate side they have a 1. 1 million emergency package which means they are are no offsets. Thats a huge difference. Additionally the house has included some language in what they are bringing to conference that would lessen permitting requirements for spraying pest sides which had triggered some objection in both the house and the senate.
