The President opposes this tax relief. He has said Congress shouldn't cut taxes for 15 years. But we believe you know best how to spend your hard-earned income. Our Republican budget also reflects America's priorities of improving our public schools and maintaining a strong national defense. Republicans will provide the tools that parents and local school boards need in order to give our children the best possible public schools.
Children are our future.
And a good education is key to securing a child's future. We will ensure that more federal dollars get through the bureaucracy and to the classroom, where they can be spent on teachers, technology and textbooks. Our young men and women in the military today are being asked to do more and more with less and less. Our troops are spread around the world, without all the training and equipment they need to do their jobs safely. We have a moral obligation to see that our men and women in uniform are properly trained and equipped for the missions they undertake on behalf of America's security.
