To be fair,

My state had a program that basically mirrored HOPE. Southern dad is right, the people that took advantage of it were already middle class to rich. The standards were laughably low and yet you ended up in a situation where upper middle class and rich people got paid to go to undergrad while a vast majority of the most disadvantaged kids at the university didn't actually qualify for the scholarship at all. At the end of the day you ended up with a bunch of well off kids balling out on scholarship money and then going to good grad/parents job while the poor kids paid for school, never got a job, and are now debt pwned. Access to education really does not move many people up the socioeconomic ladder anymore. It can, but in the aggregate it's almost always middle class to rich kids that are able to take advantage of these "opportunities" education offers. For most low income people it's just damaging.

Also, inherited wealth is now double taxed. No problem with taxing inheritance but do it once or don't do it at all. Surely prefstegious and learned individuals such as ourselves recognize what a dangerous precedent double taxation would set.

LOL. Obamacare is set in stone, no way dems back off it and no one except for reptiles really thinks Obamacare is a bad thing.
