Wait until vouchers become a federal program. You can't deny that once an entitlement is offered by the federal government it becomes a "right" of the welfare leisure class.

So, it hasn't happened yet where you taught. Want to bet it doesn't happen once this latest welfare scam becomes part of the welfare state's catalog of benefits?

No offense to your "deserving families" but giving them vouchers to pay for something they haven't earned at the expense of those who have earned it amounts to welfare. Vote for welfare if you like. I don't support it.

What makes you think someone is more likely to feel "entitled" to a voucher just because that voucher come from the feds as opposed to it coming from the state or the school district? If they don't want the voucher now (and our district's program isn't even at its maximum yet), what makes you think they'll want it then?

Also, right or wrong, vouchers aren't spun like they are a welfare program. That's because voucher opponents (more often Dummycrats) would have a lot of nerve going there considering how they've allowed some of these same families to get welfare under AFDC.
