OH MAN!  GOT 'EM!!!!  

 

 

I mean... if this is what they have to criticize... it's pretty weak sauce. 

 

It's a hell of a bill and a major legislative accomplishment. But of course the Dems did it so the frothy right has to figure out some way to denigrate it.

 

Gotta love partisan hackery politics. 

Yep gotta love the inflation reduction that will most likely increase inflation according the US leading economists .  Gotta love hackery politics.

Exactly what I'm talking about. A landmark bill with a wonky name, so that's what you focus on. 

 

It's the Tan Suit of legislative complaints.

Hey....it's a step in the right direction.  But.....isn't it so special that teachers get a whopping $300 to deduct.

 

Should be much larger and it's stupid that it's not.

  We're well past that and school has only been in session for a week

It's a shame they have to spend any money out of pocket at all. And right-wingers want to defund these schools and teachers even more to force kids into private schools where they can be brainwashed. 

 

This country has some seriously backwards ideas.

I had no idea. This is just ridiculous. Teachers shouldn’t have to spend any of their own money on classroom supplies. But, since they do, there should be no limit on the tax deduction.

 

Teachers should form a 501c3 charitable entity and wash their expenditures through that so they can deduct all of it.

Exactly.....first, they shouldn't have to spend their own money.  Second, since they do, there shouldn't be a limit.

 

It's pretty pathetic.

I couldn’t find where “right wingers” wants to force kids into private school unless you are talking about some rando somewhere no one has heard of.  
 

By defund do you actually mean allow the money to follow the kid?  Like going from a failing public school district to a good public school district so the kid can get a better education?  
 

it’s amazing that people on here are against kids attending a good school

Not a bad idea.   Each school do their own Call it a teaching journal club, meet once a quarter and go from there.

Or...just fund them so teachers don't have to spend so much of their own money.

This article has nothing to do with what you actually claimed.  It doesn’t “force” any kid to private school and allows a choice.  
 

on a side note…Why not do a search on how many parents in inner city schools apply for these voucher programs.  Why are you against school choice for these kids

Maybe add $500 per teaching room to each schools budget and mandate that it gets assigned to whatever teacher/‘s use that room and teachers can then purchase supplies and turn in an expense report for prompt repayment?  In addition, the IRS rule stays in effect too.  Maybe something like that would help.
