You are hitting on something very vital.. Paul's bill, H.R. 935, is still the government telling you what you can spend your money on. The tax credit must go to some sort of education, be it school supplies (if you choose to go to public schools), private school tuition, or home school supplies...

Now, this isn't bad.. but it sure isn't the pure Constitutional way that Paul's supporters claim he follows.

The pure Constitutional approach would be for the government not to ask you what you are spending your money on, at that, require it be for specific things..

I just want to add that I’ve long agreed with Ron Paul on most (if not all) issues. This one sounds out of line with his other positions, but perhaps he’s being realistic. Funding for public school education probably won’t end nor be diminished - at least not in the near future - and I’d rather see tax credits than school vouchers.

The pure Constitutional approach would be for the US government to have no role whatsoever in education...and Ron Paul has called for abolishing the Department of Education...I don't think any other candidate of either party has done that

Perhaps Dr. Paul realizes that returning to constiutional government isn’t going to happen this week so he’s trying to help homeschoolers the best way possible under existing law.

"The pure Constitutional approach would be for the government not to ask you what you are spending your money on,"

Excellent point! and I agree completely.

Now I would like you to expand your thinking just a little, and grant the posibility that in order to change the way in which federal dollars are now allocated toward education, that it might be necessary to effect the change incrementally over time. Baby steps, as it were.

Now before you claim this is just me weasling, let me remind you that we are under nearly a constant barrage of similar sentiment regarding the election of POTUS.

I remember how it went: "Let's elect someone we can "work with", and just try to get some measure of progress, because we can't possibly expect to get everything all at once."

Sound familiar?

THANK GOD!!!

You hear that boys! He may not be virgin crystal pure! He may have INCONSISTENCIES! Thank God for that! Let's write him off and someone find me those GUILIANI BUMPER STICKERS!!!!! Hot dawg.

This reminds me of the guys on my construction crew who literally stood up and pointed their fingers while whooping it up at me the first time I said "shit" after my conversion.
