I smell unreported income.
I have been a bookkeeper for small business owners for over 30 years. I know there is a certain amount of skimming, most of which I never saw, there fore I could not advise on not doing it.
In order to pay that kind of school tuition, pay mortgages, buy groceries, pay utilities, there is no way it can be done on a gross income of $45,000 a year. Even if the income is misstated, and it is a net income of $45,000, once you pay out $40,000 for tuition, how in the dickens does a family live on $5000 a year????
This is a ripe situation for the Republicans to disect the banks accounts and life style of this couple and their kids and expose them loudly for the liars they are.
The Demorats just get dumber and dumber. The Republican candidates need to use that ammunition and soon.
Yes!!! This is exactly why Bush vetoed the INCREASE in spending. Bush didn't "gut the program". According to the story these poor 20K per year private school waifs already have their care paid for. It's outrage that other people have to pay MORE out of pocket for these people to maintain their artistic lifestyles. And BTW, yes, their car insurance should have helped out somewhat.
The article says their mortgage is $1,200, go figure!!!
