I think we should worry about Social Security first and then tax cuts second.

Today, education is perhaps the most important function of state and local governments.

The promise of equal educational opportunity envisioned by the Brown decision remains unfulfilled.

Unfortunately, the elimination of incentives such as parole, good time credits and funding for college courses, means that fewer inmates participate in and excel in literacy, education, treatment and other development programs.

No one should be denied the opportunity to get an education and increase their earning potential based solely on their inability to pay for a college education.

Another example of the educational inequality is the current debate over publicly financed school vouchers which will provide educational opportunities to a privileged handful, but deprive public schools of desperately needed resources.

It is virtually impossible to compete in today's global economy without a college degree.
