Education

President Obama's proposal to make community college tuition free (i.e., taxpayer funded) could have a huge, negative financial impact on four-year colleges and universities.

President Obama is actively trying to get college students hooked on thousands of dollars in taxpayer-funded loans, only to forgive much of that debt later. That's how you create government dependency, not fiscally responsible citizens.

President Obama has identified yet another sector of the economy in dire need of government help: higher education.  And it seems he wants to use ObamaCare as the model for improving education quality and lowering cost.  The one teensy-weensy problem is that ObamaCare will do neither.

America needs a new energy policy, tax structure and education system, George P. Bush of Fort Worth told a luncheon audience Friday. But does that really sound like somebody running for Texas land commissioner?

George P. Bush said conservative Republicans could compete for Hispanic voters and still remain true to their core values. "We don’t have to sell out our principles to win the Hispanic vote,” Bush told the Institute for Policy Innovation.

What does the free market say when a business plan just isn't cutting it? Try a different plan, that's what.

Texas has an education problem, not just an education-funding problem. The current “Robin Hood” school finance system is but one fact of Texas’ education problem.

Education tax credits can open doors for parents and children who aren’t satisfied with their government school. But they work best when they’re flexible and free from excessive government regulation. President Bush can promote education freedom through tax policy, using federal tax breaks that reinforce state innovations like scholarship tax credits and tuition write-offs.
