Because it’s a smash and grab.
Arizona, the model for voucher programs across the country, spent so much money paying private schoolers’ tuition that it faced hundreds of millions in budget cuts to critical state programs and projects last year.

Republicans think wealthy people shouldn't have to pay the full cost of expensive private school tuition but are just fine if working class people go hungry and go into medical bankruptcy or die because they can't afford health insurance
Arizona's universal ESA voucher program has no income cap and will cost taxpayers a shocking $1 billion this year 💰 Meanwhile, essential services for low-income families, such as SNAP and Medicaid, have strict income caps to qualify.

Among my regular passengers on the 44 are two young boys who ride with their grandma from California and 6th Ave all the way to Silver and Palou. The older brother is possibly a 2nd grader. Last night as they were getting off my bus, he handed me this hand made envelope.
