I think ultra-libertarians want to turn the USA into a third world shit hole. No public education, health care, social security = a place you really don't want to live, even if you have money. Why do you think all the people who can afford it get out of those places?

Stossel made a good point tonight, government funded and government run are two different things. Government funded education performs well, government run education sucks.

The mess they made in DC is appalling. I didn't realize the voucher program Barry cancelled right after becoming president was only given 50% of the funding a normal DC school receives. It's sad when they start with 50% of your funding level and still kick your butt.

Let the money follow the student. Even if the voucher can't be spent on private schools initially, I could see a phase-in period where the voucher could be used over a geography that grows a modest amount each year.

Detroit schools spend almost as much as D.C. and are pathetic with graduation rates....not even test scores.

He made the same point in his "Stupid in America" expose with South Carolina schools. He showed am eighteen year old kid that could barely read but made tremendous progress at a Sylvan learning center.
