Unions Are the New Trump Card

Obama’s last massive spending bill included a provision that stopped funding the scholarships which allowed some children in the Washington, DC area to attend private schools. The program was an outstanding success according to students, parents, and the professionals who were charting its results; it cost about $7,000 for each child. Since the outlay per public school pupil in that district hovers around $14,000, it not only saved money but also improved education. For despite the high expenditure per student, educational test scores in DC consistently appear near the bottom of the chart. But, Obama ranks loyalty to union donors above both children and educational results.

The next program coming down the pike is Card Check. Is there any hope that it can be stopped?
