Where on the internets do they post?
Sounds like something a self absorbed, me-first, selfish prick would say. Tell us more about your meager beginnings.
Sigh. That's not an excuse, it's a fact. Your confusion is more evidence of your stupidity.

I believe it is mostly a reallocation from public to private. With that said, I agree schools will raise tuition costs, price out the families who ESA's are intended to help, and continue to reject students and families that do not fit the profile they target.
Friedman was a fraud. Sorry…he was “popular” because Reagan acknowledged his work endorsed his philosophies. Like most economists, that does not mean he was correct.

We can save the debate about Friedman for another day...
...I did re-read your post that I replied to. I think I misunderstood your point. If your point was ESA credits are inflationary for private school tuition (separating it from all other inflation) within a vacuum, then I do agree with you. Private schools are going to raise tuition costs. No doubt in my mind about that.
As a parent who sent my child to a private school I was strictly against the voucher program. I’m not rich and budgeted accordingly to make it happen. This could have possibly been stopped by voting out Kim. Those that voted for her shouldn’t be complaining about the voucher program, you actually voted for it.
They’ll take the cash and then develop a secondary school for all those below a certain inco…. Wait, I mean, all those kids who can’t pay attention in class very well.
Exactly. Again…don’t bullshit a bullshitter. This grift of tax money to religion is not only unconstitutional, it is itself, inflationary. .
Only a Republican could run a grift like this in Iowa and get it passed. And I sincerely mean this..

If you are saying it is inflationary across anything outside of private school tuition, then I am back to saying you need to set your ego and emotions aside and study up on economics.
If you are saying it is inflationary limited to private school tuition, then just accept we are in agreement. Everything else is just pompousness on your part.
This legislation didn't grant parents school choice, every child already had the opportunity to attend private schools or open enroll in a different district. Of course the choice of your child attending a private school resides with the private school not the parents.
It is inflationary to private school tuition!
this “Lib” can fathom “Separation of church and state” however……The United States has has “School choice” for its citizens ever since the nation was founded. I believe living by the standards of the Constitution are far more important than sacrificing its meaning for your personal benefit.
Spoken like a poor. I had choice before this legislation. Get to work loser.
You don't even know the basis and meaning of "separation of church and state" as usual libs such as you misconstrue the intent.
Sorry mouth breather you would have never academically qualified for a private school.
Quite the simplistic take. An overwhelming percentage of the electorate is not driven by a single issue.
In part because it's not school choice. It's school's choice.
You’re talking to the equivalent of a doorknob. And that’s doing a disservice to doorknobs.
What private school did you attend? Did you graduate?
Keep in mind private pre-school does not count. Not that I think you could graduate from there either.
You think that's a gotcha, but it really just proves the point that vouchers don't provide choice for every child.
Do you know for a fact his (Parent’s) check wouldn’t have cleared the bank? Maybe he has a very good time in the 40?
Rico’s one of the kings of the self own on HORT. I’m just proud of him that he’s not forgetting to log out of his account when he responds to himself today.

from a practical viewpoint, it provides choice to very few families.

Yes, come 2025-2026 school year we will see how many leave public schools for private schools. I understand not all private schools in Iowa are Catholic schools, but the Catholic schools are going to put on a "full-court press" to improve their sports facilities. This money will have to come from donors, not taxpayers.

I'm listening...
...my thought is ESAs will not lead to an increase in private schools. the families that have a choice will be limited to areas that already have a private school. I hope I am wrong. I would like to see every community have a choice.
A friend of mine temp worked at a catholic school for a week and a half with no background check.

one example may mean a systemic failure, but it may also be just an isolated incident.
Wow! An anecdote! Did he keep working there for years without it or was it just for 10-14 days?
The Fort Wayne, Indiana catholic churches and schools went on a building spree once parishioner and diocese money was no longer need to subsidize tuition due to the Indiana voucher program. They called it a "capital campaign success" as well.
For 25-26, it isn't about people leaving public schools. That was part of the initial law, anyone transferring from a public school or incoming kindergarten were allowed to participate in ESA regardless of income.
In 25-26, all families who were part of the private school already and paying their way can participate in ESA. This is the part where most against the law really are mad. Zero income restrictions will exist.
More "rich people" will have more money being the biggest argument.
Rich people being in quotes is due to the subjectivity of the term.
I personally think public schools need more backing when dealing with troubled children. Lack of discipline from parents and ability for public schools to really enforce much is a big issue.
