For seven and a half years, George Bush supported cutbacks in American education. He even sat by while college loans for working families were cut. And now, suddenly, George Bush says he'll be the education president. Michael Dukakis won't just give us loans. He's committed to a new national college loan program to make sure that any American kid can afford to go to college. Michael Dukakis for president. A real commitment to education. The best America is yet to come.
