There are plenty of full merit tuition scholarships out there for achievers and very smart kids. The feds can add those necessary for critical skill sets or breaking monopolies like the AMA. This is not the Land of Guarantees except for some volunteers who may have a verbal contract with politicians which is shaky at best.

I don’t have any kids that need any advantage. I’m tired of educating Mexico. I’m tired of irresponsible people making bad decisions, and I get to pay for it. Am I the only one who thinks that parents should be responsible for their children, not society?

I hear three advocates for the economically secure to guard their advantage for education opportunity. Upward mobility for kids who picked the right parents. Hail our Land of Opportunity?

No free school lunch- if you cant afford a buck for your kid’s lunch, you shouln’t have had kids. Most houses I’ve been in that get this have nicer TV’s than I do..

I agree. There are lots of things the federal government doesn’t need to fund.

Only by getting rid of the 16th amendment can we get the Feds out of this crazy venture.

Simple solution is no federal funding except scholarships. No grants, no meals, nothing except federal standard tests for federal jobs. Oops, we have those!
