I am concerned about the fact that I am going to have to pay more for my grandchilds education because we have not done what we are supposed to do in the fiscal way to make sure that we are there: we do not cut student opportunities so they can train themselves for the next generation. I am concerned. Congressman. that the Congress is not investing in innovation so that we can have engineers. we can have scientists. so that we do not have to raise the visa rate to be able to bring folks in from another country to take U.S. jobs because we have CEOs that are begging us for the opportunity to have an educated and readytogo workforce. and we cannot provide it because these kids cannot get into schools. but meanwhile. we are standing up for the billionaires in this country. and we are standing up for bad policy in this country. No one is questioning the whole issue as it relates to Iraq. You heard one of our Members just got back. said this is what we need on the ground in Iraq.
