Wrong, But Not Out of Line
A few bloggers have slapped Senator Hillary Clinton because of her argument against school vouchers. She is claimed to be crazy with rage. Well, not really. There is no yelling. In actuality she is a woman with a passionate argument. See for yourself. And there are some good arguments against the idea.
Now dear reader, please don’t misunderstand me. She is wrong. It is a reductio ad absurdum argument. She is logically wrong that we could not set limits on what schools receive vouchers. And she is empirically wrong because we already voucher programs and this problem does not exist. She is not losing her mind she is just pandering to the teachers' union. And after all, she is a politician.
