Mr. Speaker. let us be perfectly clear about this budget agreement. It is far from over. Now that the framework has been decided by this body. it is time to talk about priorities. The Democrats priorities are to educate our children. First we want full funding for WIC. then we fought tooth and nail to protect funding for Pell grants. bilingual and immigrant education. Head Start. and child literacy. Now we must force the Republicans to make good on this agreement. The Republican agenda is just as clear. They continue to brag that their number one concern is cutting taxes for the richest people in this country.
