could not, and said Bush “sees affir
mative action starting in class
rooms.”
Brady was recently appointed to
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee, which oversees the federal
budget and government spending.
When asked why his appointment
should interest members of the
Texas A&M community, Brady
gave two reasons: loans and jobs.
“A lot of kids are out there asking,
‘Can I afford the loan paybacks?’ ”
Brady said the average student
owes $ 12,000 and said he and other
members of the committee would
work to change methods of loan re
payment.
‘‘We (the Ways and Means Com
mittee) also deal with trade, research
and other things that can help spur
the economy,” Brady said. “This
could help a student get a good job
in the end.”
Brady introduced the Sunset
Bill, which would eliminate agen
cies that have outlived their useful
ness, decreasing spending at the
federal level. The bill has already
passed in Texas and has been a great
success, Brady said.
Brady mentioned former Presi
dent Ronald Reagan's statement that
nothing lasts forever except a gov
ernment program. He said, “After
four years (in Washington), I can see
we need less government and more
freedoms. We need Texas common
sense in Washington.”
When asked to address the com
plaints from people in other parts of
the country that Texans, and Aggies
in particular, now run Washington,
D.C., Brady laughed and said.
“There is all truth to that rumor.”
