I'm very, very concerned ultimately, as Medicaid costs increase in my state and most states, it's going to reduce funding for state aid to our public schools, to our higher education institution or higher taxes on the middle class that President Obama said he didn't want to do.

Geoff Mulgan

I have always advocated for funding and programs that increase our productivity and competitiveness.

George Allen
