As some of you may have heard last night during our President's State of the Union Address, Bush proposed to sign $300 million in grants for children in inner-city schools. The Pell Grants for Kids would funnel tax dollars to help low-income families to send their children to private or religious educational institutions. Many Democrats attacked him restating his failure with the No Child Left Behind Act of his first term, and continued by saying that the government is already billions in debt and does not have the resources to fund such a large proposal. I'm not quite sure whether I agree or disagree with this. It would be great to send these kids to good schools, but the Democrats have a point too, we don't have the money to do this. I'll post the link to the site, let me know what you guys think.
