WEEKEND: Dr Oran Smith on School Choice | Pete Sepp with National Taxpayers Union (Ep 581)
Manage episode 518646656 series 3519082
Just the Truth Podcast with Joey Hudson
Here in South Carolina, parents are gaining more control over their children’s education. Freedom In Education has awarded a $50,000 grant to the Palmetto Promise Institute — helping expand the state’s Education Scholarship Trust Fund, which now provides 10,000 scholarships for families seeking private or alternative schooling that better fits their values and their kids’ needs.
Joining us to discuss the impact of this growing school choice movement is Dr. Oran Smith, Senior Fellow with Palmetto Promise Institute.
And on our guest line — Pete Sepp, President of the National Taxpayers Union — the voice of America’s taxpayers. He’s warning that a proposed change by the Federal Housing Finance Agency could reignite the mistakes of 2008.
The FHFA wants to add VantageScore 4.0 alongside FICO for mortgage lending — but critics say it could let underqualified buyers back into the market and leave taxpayers footing the bill if another housing bubble bursts.
