They usually call it school choice, but really what that is, when you expand school choice, it usually just gives a subsidy to people who already send their kids to private schools. Last time they expanded [school choice] was over 72% of the kids that were getting a taxpayer funded voucher...were already setting their kids there [in private schools]. So that's something that they're looking at. Then of course the other thing is they want to give more money for rich people. It never quite trickles down, this trickle down economics. (05:32–05:34)
