C. Opportunity Scholarship Program (OSP), the article states:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Enrollment increased <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/local\/dc\/2011\/11\/enrollment-dc-school-voucher-program-surges\/123398\">60 percent<\/a> last year, with parents <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/local\/education\/parents-rush-to-apply-for-dc-private-school-vouchers\/2011\/06\/25\/AG4Ju9kH_story.html\">\u201crushing\u201d<\/a> to sign their kids up, after the new GOP House renewed the program for five years. That\u2019s the good news \u2014 since Congress is likely to become redder this fall, the GOP will be able to force a penny-ante budgetary matter like this on Obama even if he\u2019s reelected. The bad news is that O is so deeply captive to public-school teachers\u2019 unions that he\u2019d rather risk the optics of canceling a <em>school-choice program for poor kids<\/em> knowing that it\u2019ll end up in the budget anyway than embrace it and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cato-at-liberty.org\/dc-vouchers-democrats-and-teachers-unions\/\">anger his PEU cronies<\/a>. Loathsome.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, people who can afford a $50,000 car will get a tax break which will cost the government $100 million each year if it is approved by Congress, presuming only 10,000 new-technology autos are sold each year.<\/p>\n<p>This is another example of the Obama Administration telling Americans what to buy. It is a political move designed to shore up environmental support for President Obama in an election year. Meanwhile, the students in Washington, D.C. are tossed aside.<\/p>\n<p>I think this President has his priorities backwards.<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"float: right; border-style: none;\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?x-id=e87d6861-ef97-47d8-8e5c-603030014f20\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No, I am not about to support the class warfare that President Obama is planning to use to win a second term in the White House.
