norcross, mooney, mr. ryan. they're on that committee. i commend their interest and engagement on the issue. here is sort of the difference of opinion that i have with the amendment. first, the funding component. i don't think we need to focus on one portion of raising taxes in order to raise the funds for this. i think we need to have tax reform in its entirety for economic growth. secondly, this money that we're talking about is placed in the mandatory line item, which is already a growing problem and focusing enhancing our long-term debt issue. i would like to, as we are already doing, focus resources on the discretionary side. last year $400 million. this year, through the appropriations process, i think we're going to have $300 million through the bill that was just passed in the senate. that bill, i believe, will go through the house. i and almost 55 other members of congress signed a letter for continued and ongoing robust funding. but on the discretionary side. so, i share the concerns. you're absolutely right. this is an epidemic

norcross to prevent gun violence. >> mr. norcross is recognized for three minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. my common sense amendment would prevent terrorists from buying guns. let me say that again. my common sense amendment would prevent terrorists legally buying guns and bombs they can use to kill americans f there was ever a topic we could come together on this committee i would hope we would agree we should keep guns out of the hands of terrorists. in addition serving on the house budget committee do sit on emerging threats. as a committee i described it with sleeping with one eye open. we can never predict when or where terrorists will attack but we certainly can make some common sense prevention out of that we need anymore san bernardinos out there and we don't need them to have access this. gao reported on u.s. terror watch list we have those who tried to purchase guns or explosives 2233 times since 2004. 2043 of them were successful. let me do the math for you. 91% of people on the terrorist watch list that can't

norcross. >> thank you and chairman price, we appreciate the fact that we have this committee hearing today. before we start i look around the room. i guess we know how the president feels. they didn't entertain his budget. our colleagues are not even listening to our comments. so i know we're all busy. but just indicative of what we're dealing with here. it's no secret about our tax code, it's legendary for all the wrong reasons, we're talking about a system that's flagrantly unfair, and unbalanced. we've been sent to washington by our constituents to be advocates for everyone. how can we go back to our constituents and tell them we did nothing to address this tax inequity. the budget before us today just does that. incentivizes our tax systems, encourages the offshoring of multinationals to take the profits elsewhere. but more so, taking the jobs of hard-working americans and undercutting them by shipping those overseas. some of the unfairness can be measured in these terms, $1 trillion in expenditures that comes in tax breaks, we just saw that. for those at the top, you're doing gr

just in the first year of students being enrolled in kindergarten at kipp cooper norcross academy, we'reong way to go, no question. but the recent crime statistics are encouraging. murders down 52% since 2012. robberies and aggravated assaults have also fallen. and if you ask anyone in this city, they will tell you, education is key in all of it. >> if you increase our graduation rate 20%, you could drop our murder rate 30, 40% in this city. and that's absolutely true. >> i think they're directly correlated. the only way to overcome poverty is through education. making sure that you are prepared to compete in the global economy. >> those who believe that if you took any of the money that's going to kipp and instead flooded it, poured it into the existing traditional public schools, they would do better. >> unfortunately, for decades -- for generations in this city, there has been a monopoly. there's been a single type of school. and it's produced the results we're seeing. >> over the definition insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result. we saw
