It Really Isn't 'For The Children'

How many times have we heard Democrat legislators at all levels saying that what they are doing is 'for the children'.  Well, the children are the losers in the spending bill passed by Congress last night.  According to the Washington Times, the measure introduced by  Senator John Ensign, Nevada Republican, to continue funding the voucher program for Washington, D. C., students was voted down by the Democrats.  This is the program that allows two of the Obama children's classmates from poorer families to attend the Sidwell Friends School.  The funding for that program will now end.  Bill Bennett said it best on his radio show this morning, "Rich people have school choice--they have money."  It seems to me that in a $410 billion dollar spending bill, Congress could have found enougth money to fund the education for children to avoid what are probably the worst schools in the nation.
