Democrat or republican in most cases people want to get dollars in the hands of people who want to go to college or community college. I know in Pennsylvania, they are a central cog in the wheel to building a skilled workforce. It’s remarkable what’s happening right now. We’ve got to make sure we invest in community colleges because it’s a sector of our economy that’s been neglected and it’s a sector of our economy that’s essential whether or not we can compete in a world economy and community colleges play a huge role in that.

Well I think its critical that we make the kind of commitment that Dionna is talking about to the National Parks service. And part of that is setting priorities. When Sen Sanders and I spoke earlier about the economy and the budget... You can't make the kind of investment that we have to make in major priorities like health care and education as well as the kind of quality of life investments when it comes to preserving our national parks and our national heritage, if you're giving tax breaks like this administration has.
