SENATOR EDWARD M. KENNEDY REMARKS ON THE STATE OF EDUCATION

Few issues are more important to a strong America than strong schools.

Education opens the doors of opportunity to our people. It helps the next

generation realize their potential and fulfill their dreams. And a good

education strengthens our economy as it prepares young Americans to get

good jobs and compete in today's world.

 

Parents want their children to succeed. But for the past four years,

we've seen a President and an Administration with an incompetent

education policy and an incompetent education budget. President Bush can

find more than a trillion dollars to give away in tax breaks for the

wealthy, but he cut funding for his own education reforms. He can waste

billions of dollars in contracts to Halliburton, but can't find a dime to

increase your Pell Grants.

 

When it comes to the education of your children, to helping middle class

families afford college, to helping workers get retrained for new jobs -

this Administration has been AWOL.
