the national education association has found that gutting the state and local tax deduction will seriously harm already underfunded public education, risking nearly 250,000 education jobs. those are middle-class family jobs in a profession that is profoundly important to our future. we talk a lot in this chamber about the importance of skill training and education to the future of our workforce and making sure that jobs are filled by people with the right skills for them. and here we are gutting our educational system. and those cuts in turn will lead to approximately $250 billion in cuts to public education over the years to come. finally job creators, the job creators who do the infrastructure work in construction and in skill training. there is common ground here. on infrastructure there is bipartisan support for a infrastructure bank or public financing authority. and a number of those proposals in fact would involve repatriating funds at lower tax rates so that the money part abroad, trillions of dollars that companies have put there because they want to avoid taxes on those profits c

the weekend but that doesn't really help for child care. a worry for people like the national association for the education of young children, our head start the tax bill will be so high, what's going to happen to the direct support that goes to programs serving children? >> after school programs, which enabled working parents to drop their kids off early, it means they can stay after school. but practically speaking, how can this be addressed? i mean, in this country, when you hear that woman's story, there are very few jobs that start at 9:30 in the morning after the school day starts and an end at 3 p.m. and have the summers off and four weeks vacation that happen during the year. what can really change practically speaking? because parents need to go back to work, want to go back to work. >> well there is a bill that's been introduced in a bipartisan way that would at least deal with what i think of as the three legged scho eged stool of care. it would help pay but also improve quality and increase the stability of child care. there's such a high turnover in child care. we did one study once where we went back a few years later when th

nonpartisan basis and the centerpiece of our aspiring educational mission is a partnership withmtwo great lawyers -- with to dubya a great lawyers association's.

the democratic governors when he decided to embrace these national education goals and he asked governors to help write them. and we started working together. and then i tried never to take a cheap shot in the governors associationsagreed, we said it and we moved on. we found things we could do together. and i think the other thing is, like i said, he deserves a lot of credit because if he hadn't asked us to do this tsunami work together, i am not sure the relationship would have ever flowered the way it did. we just like being together. it is like anything else. sometimes you click with people, sometimes you don't. i always admired him. i think i completely supported what he did in the aftermath of the collapse of the soviet union, supporting german reunification, supporting the european union, supporting the efforts he made and i made, as you see today, with mixed results to integrate russia into the family of democracy. we just started working together on this tsunami thing. it is easy to forget because it was a long time ago. but i mean, they lost 300,000 people in a matter of minutes in several countries. then president bush said, america's got to do our part. most people couldn't find those little countrie

nation. members of the task force included leaders from business, from educational associations, to governors. community organization leaders, public individuals, all coming together to talk about how to extend apprenticeships across industries especially where they're under represented. one important take away was the apprenticeship programs are not scaling. they're not growing at the rate they could grow. currently it's 0.3% of the work force is to scale and grow these further and we're engaged in discussion on how to do that. let me say the trump's focus on expanding access to health coverage. he signed a executive order on how to best aloafor more employers to offer association health plans. yesterday the office sent to the office of regulatory affairs, a notice are eguarding age. that notice became public this morning. finally in conclusion ret me say on november 9th, the charlotte observer published an oped co authored by the chairwoman and myself. i want to conclude by reading from this because i think it captures much of what we're looking for on the work force education issue and it

the national association of head teachers. thank you forjoining us. 0k, thank you forjoining us. ok, so, what do you think should be included, toby, that certainly wasn't when you were taught sex educationt was a baby and it has grown so there needs to be more emphasis on the influence of the internet, the way teenagers use the internet, looking at online pornography and the relationship there, talking to each other online as well as needing to be, i don't know, more on consent, and as well as the way they talk to each other about sex, because there is lots of misinformation. like what? pornography online is rampant so they will talk about, boys especially, talking about women in a very degrading way, very disrespectful. they need to learn and be educated. are you happy with the teacher doing that or is it down to pa re nts ? the teacher doing that or is it down to parents? i think teachers should do it because everybody‘s home life is different, with parents, there's religion and all kinds of different factors involved. 0bviously, schools go about it a different way because they have teachers, or they bring in people from externally which is good, i think some unqualified coming in is

the stage for huge cuts to education, law enforcement, infrastructure, public health and other critical services. don't take my word for it. listen to the teachers and police officers, the doctors and nurses and firefighters, the national education association opposes it because it will hurt our public schools. the national fraternal order of police and the national sheriffs association oppose it because it makes our streets less safe. the american medical association and the american hospital association oppose it because people will lose access to health care. the aarp opposes it because it will leads to cuts in medicare and medicaid and hurt our seniors. even the new jersey chamber of commerce opposes it because it will hinder investments and infrastructure businesses need to commit. my motion to commit would restore the salt deduction if these all too predictable consequences happen. a corporate tax cut can't build a road, care for a senior, teach a child or help keep our streets safe. and if corporations can keep the state and local tax deduction, so should middle-class families. we can't afford to roll the dice and risk these investments in the middle class. i urge adoption of the motion to commit and i ask for the yeas and nays. the
