    He hits more than he misses

    Anything over about 4 feet he has no chance of hitting

    If they're for Biden, they're in no way Republicans.

    That's a brilliant proposal by Rand. While still a "stimulus" of sorts, it doesn't run counter to any of his small government branding, if anything quite the opposite - it takes existing funding and reallocates it away from the government and into the hands of individual families.

    It'll be interesting to see how Democrats react. For the immediate, it's a no-brainer. Dems want to give families relief of any kind, and no one wants the abomination that is DeVos's agency to have a pile of money with no clear need while schools can operate at low-cost. But I suspect they'll be weary of opening this door for fears of the precedent being set for the post-pandemic era. Bolstering the competition for public education is going to deal a serious blow to teachers unions and future federal emphasis on schooling.

    This is a dem no starter in the House. The dems are owned by the teacher unions. No way do they want parents having direct financial control over how their kids are educated. Hell, the Cali unions are demanding that the public charter schools be terminated. Trump should take Rand's idea and pound it down the throats of dems in the swing states and go directly at black parents.
