” making private school tuition tax deductible”

Nonsense. There is no money in the federal budget for anything like that. And Turner is not about to buck the Republican Tea Party establishment.

Republicans have for a generation been selling religious voters a bill of goods, that they support tuition vouchers and tax credits. But except for a tiny program in the District of Columbia, there has been absolutely no action by the federal government — even when the Republicans controlled all three branches of government. And as of now the only priorities for the Republicans are to maintain low taxes on the wealthiest Americans and to gut social programs and education, even if it means the United States defaulting on its debt — a proposal that was last floated back in the 1780s and soundly smashed by the Founding Fathers.

I think that the author of this article has made some very important and useful points…and clearly it must be read. Unfortunately, it is being currently overshadowed by articles that relate to the horrific and tragic events which have affected our community in the last few days. Those articles are important BUT so is this one. That is why I respectfully request that Yeshiva World REPEAT this article in a week or two when the trauma from this horrible event somewhat lessens and that members of our community will be able to focus on the future.
