Administration Quote by Dennis Kucinich
“We have to make education a priority, but all this debate about education and testing is almost beside the point. We only spend a fraction of the money on education that we spend on arms buildups. Under a Kucinich administration, education becomes one of the top domestic priorities. We put money into it. We cause the government to be vitally involved in it. And we make sure our children have the love of knowledge.”

![“In absolutely every way, our lives are transformed by education and basic education in particular. So I would have thought that in any kind of system, to say that the priorities don't include education is a mistake, whether it's [at the] domestic level or at the global level.” quote by Amartya Sen](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/d53/amartya-sen-2518_basic-education_in-absolutely-every-way-our-lives-are-tr_692103.jpg)
