When bright young minds can't afford college, America pays the price.

At the end of the day, things don't get better unless you continue to invest in your workforce. And I've not heard any Republican talk about education and the investment in the future workforce.

While Obama might not push college education exclusively, like most Democrats he does oversell it and does shortchange the alternatives. And millions of young Americans pay the price.

Education is a fundamental principle of what made America a success. We can't afford to throw any young people away.

Republicans have been accused of abandoning the poor. It's the other way around. They never vote for us.

Education is not Democrat versus Republican. It's about doing the right things for the right reason for our kids.

When it comes to college education, American families are paying more and getting less.

We cannot neglect the unemployed, underemployed and dislocated workers of America who need ample and widespread funding for federal job training services.

It's shortsighted not to view the education of a future generation of Americans as a priority for all Americans.

I believe that we parents must encourage our children to become educated, so they can get into a good college that we cannot afford.
