Voucher Education Romney Style - Buy Only at the Company Store


Does anybody besides myself think that maybe Romney's version of Vouchers for Education just sounds like issuing Tokens redeemable only at a Company Store. 


My ancestors worked in coal mines.  They got paid in tokens to pay the rent and buy food at the company store. 


Does anybody think that Vouchers offer a choice for a good education or it is just another front for venture capital to put up cardboard front schools labeled ed-a-cation for the poor? Or stealing from the poor - directing them into a worthless bait and switch consumer product? No refunds available!



The plan will allow low-income and disabled students use federal funding to attend public schools, public charter schools and, in some cases, private schools. Federal funds could also be applied to tutors or digital courses. 
The plan is in line with GOP reforms aimed at giving students more educational choices. But it's unclear how schools in areas that depend on the federal funding would fare.
