Obama visits Crown Heights, urges Congress to spend more on education
With budget talks set to resume next week, President Barack Obama is urging Congress to hammer out a spending deal that puts more money into education.
At a high school in Brooklyn, Obama said he’s tired of hearing the “same old stuff” from GOP critics obsessed with cutting spending.
He said House Republicans forced a government shutdown that cost the economy billions of dollars, but they don’t seem to think America can afford quality education.
