They don't. They just shuffle money around to make it LOOK like they do. Take for instance in GA. Up until Gov. Perdue took office, a Republican, we had one of the best lottery for education purposes going. The HOPE scholarship. Keep a B average in high school, you get first years tuition and books paid to any in-state school. Keep a B average in college, it continues. Worked VERY well. When Perdue got into office, he almost INSTANTLY started putting his slimey hands on the HOPE grants, and made new much more strict rules and payment restrictions on it, using the money for other things. Is the lottery a tax? You started out by mentioning taxes. LOL! And the larger paychecks we saw because of less taxes being taken out were just figments of our imagination according to him also. The paychecks may have LOOKED larger but they really weren't. ;-) That's *our* Bassy for you. What an idiot. If you got a bigger paycheck because of tax cuts, but spent more because of the the inflation that it caused, that's somehow a good thing? What a dolt. Hasn't inflation been pretty tame for a while now? Tame compared to what? Everything is relative, you know. Did you ever understand the lottery/taxes situation that is occuring here in GA? |

The GA Hope Scholarship still provides tuition to B students. I didn't ever say that it didn't. What I said was a lot of the programs, and benefits of the HOPE were cut. Now, if you want to know more, ask. I live here and have students in the system. If you just think you know what you are talking about and want to act like an expert on the GA lottery and HOPE scholarship, go for it. |

Hasn't inflation been pretty tame for a while now? Tame compared to what? Everything is relative, you know. Did you ever understand the lottery/taxes situation that is occuring here in GA? The GA Hope Scholarship still provides tuition to B students. "The HOPE Scholarship is one of the most popular programs in Georgia history. It has made an investment ofover $3 billion in scholarships for over 900,000 Georgia students and has encouraged academic achievement along the way. And for the first time, the best and brightest of our students stay in Georgia for their college education and then remain in Georgia to create new businesses. And it was created by Democrats. But some did not have the forward-thinking leadership to see the promise of the HOPE scholarship. Gov. Sonny Perdue and Lt. Governor candidate Ralph Reed fought the HOPE scholarship tooth and nail. State Senator Perdue voted against HOPE at least 3 times over his career.1 In typical Gov. Perdue fashion, he is trying to rewrite his record on HOPE. Now he supports it...or so he says. But he robbed HOPE of an astonishing $1.7 million to pay for a website2 the Athens Banner-Herald called "a campaign commercial." That was in 2005. But this is 2006, an election year. So he wants you to think that he is a big HOPE supporter. Gov. Perdue really hopes that you'll just forget about his record. Georgia has HOPE because Democrats had the vision to support education in innovative ways. And Democrats have the vision to keep the promise of HOPE permanent." And that is just ONE instance. |
