Rep. Mike Honda: Republican Education Cuts Killing America's Economic Competitiveness
Making America's kids dumber is the key to improving the economy, who educated those Repugs?
Democrats believe investments in transportation, infrastructure, energy and education are the key to a sustainable high-growth economy. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke supported this position in recent testimony to the House Budget Committee, saying that "wise investments in education, including community colleges and on-the-job training, are essential to lowering unemployment."
Republicans, in stark contrast, have proposed unprecedented cuts to education spending in recent resolutions. Not only are Republicans ignoring what the Federal Reserve is telling us, they are ignoring what recent scores on international competitiveness demonstrate: Investments in education are the key to our economic competitiveness.
