america is still the largest economy in the world. still have the most productive workers and most innovative minds in the world but we risk losing our edge as a nation if we don't move. our infrastructure used to be the best in the world stop today , the united states of america ranks 13th in the world. we are among the first in the world to guarantee access to universal education at the turn of the 20th century. now, we are ranked 35 out of 37 major economies when it comes to investing in early childhood education. 35 out of 37. we have taken our foot off the gas in the world has taken notice. now they are closing the gap. it's essential that we have to regain the momentum we lost. as my wife says all the time is any country who out educates us will outcompete us. our work is to prayer -- is to prepare to win the fast-changing 21st century global economy. that's why i wrote to critical pieces of information being debated in washington now. one focuses on the investments we need to make the physical infrastructure of america, the sec

don't bankrupt america. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time the gentleman from texas reserves. the gentleman from virginia. mr. beyer: i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time the gentleman from texas. mr. brady: i yield two minutes to the gentleman from alabama, mr. palmer. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. mr. palmer: i thank the gentleman for his leadership. the congressionalbudget office said it will increase the deficit by $3 trillion putting truth that the bills are paid for. it is not thrvment is another c.b.o. report that was released erltier this fall that should be front and center. here's what that report says about the direction america is heading. according to c.b.o., america's debt will be over 200% and twice the size of our entire economy. that report said a growing debt burden would increase the risk of higher inflation and undermine confidence in the u.s. dollar making it more

to see america. they wanted to take a look at america. and i can recall almost everyone who left my office, sometimes with tears streaming down their cheeks, saying, "we want to be like america." we are the envy of the world. that's why so many people want to be like we are. so we have lit liberty's torch with a glow that can truly light the world. that's what america's all about. we're much more than a place on a map. we're the united states. and we're a beacon of hope. we're a magnet for the oh -- oppressed. and a shield against those who would put the soul itself in bondage. and i think we did that in kuwait. and we may be called on to do it again. but i would guess the one thing i would hope when they catalog all the amendments and all the bills and do all the commentary is that whenever it's all over for us here, that we've left our children something other than a legacy of debt. i mean, our children are important, and none of us have a perfect solution. but there's got to be some solution where
