So in the budget I just signed, we are now investing $12 billion in public education. Let me give you some context of what all that money means because it's hard to imagine what $12 billion is. That marks a 30% increase over the amount of funding we were putting into public education the day I took office. That is a dramatic increase and we're incredibly proud of that. But to me, it's not just money that shows up on a balance sheet. It's not just shifting from one pot to another. (08:50–08:56)
