So we spent money on public education, but I always remember where I came from. I hope you don't get too nervous, Governor, because I have always believed and will always believe in local control of schools. And so while the federal government will spend money, we've got to trust you to run your schools. We got a good vote out of the Senate Education Committee that passes power out of Washington so the local folks can chart the path of excellence for every child. Education is a priority, but it must be a priority in the context of empowering local folks and strong accountability measures and trusting parents and always challenging failure.
Health care is an issue, and it's a priority.
I believe we ought to double the amount of patients we cover in community health centers to make sure that the poor and those on the outskirts of poverty are able to find primary care. I know we've got to make sure we take care of our elderly. And so we've doubled the Medicare budget in my budget. It says loud and clear to our seniors, the promises that we have made to you will be a promise we will keep. But it also requires new thinking and new leadership.
