Kline: Stop the Bailouts“The truth is, a bailout for the teachers’ unions will not improve the quality of education for our children and spending $10 billion on the education status quo will not create permanent jobs.”
WASHINGTON, D.C.,
August 5, 2010
Rep. John Kline (R-MN), the U.S. House Education and Labor Committee’s senior Republican member, issued the following statement today in response to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision to summon Congress to Washington to vote on a controversial state bailout, including $10 billion requested by teachers’ unions to keep school systems funded at levels states cannot afford.
“The American people have had enough. They are telling us to stop with the bailouts, tax hikes, and special interest giveaways. They are telling us to stop inflating spending and postponing the day of fiscal reckoning. The American people are living within their means, and they expect Washington – and states – to do the same. # # # |
