Seriously - and I disagree with the latter whole-heartedly - but if either is true, it's definitely the latter, and it's not even close.

The former sounds pretty cool, IMO.

You should oppose all government funding of education. They distort the prices at which the serice is offered.

This includes school vouchers.

[censored] each and every rich republican who doesnt understand how hard it is for people from poor backgrounds to go to school, even if they are intelligent and score well on entrance exams.

and while Im at if, [censored] lower middle class republicans too (including my parents) they should know better.

You're out of your mind. Getting a college degree is simply a first-line filter on basic competency. Anyone with any amount of drive can do it. Anyone.

There's so much freakin money available, loans, and schools willing to take your money, there is no one in this country who wants to get a degree and can't.

Not one.

1. you don't actually believe that anyway

2. you don't think undercutting the competition by operating *at a massive loss* does anything to distort the education market? Maybe just a little?

The arguments against vouchers are specious. Every one of them.

Actually I do believe that government funding of *anything* distorts the pricing of that good or service. Higher education is a clear example of that.

I have said so consistently.

I also believe that public funding of education should be eliminated or at least reduced and that the public education system needs significant overhaul.

The arguments for vouchers from one who believes in minimal government and free markets smack of either hypocrisy or intellectual dishonesty.
