CLOSING THE GAP - 'Cafeteria Plan' of Educational Choices (Conversation-3)

"Closing the Gap: Sen. Tim Scott on fighting poverty by offering ‘cafeteria plan’ of educational choices" PBS Newshour 2/13/2014

Excerpt

JUDY WOODRUFF (Newshour):  Now to a subject on the minds of many Americans this year: the growing divide between rich and poor in this country.

The issue is also the focus of our ongoing series of conversations, Closing the Gap.

Last week, I spoke with Democratic Congressman George Miller of California about how he believes the problem should be tackled.

Yesterday, Gwen spoke with Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida about his anti-poverty plan.

Tonight, we hear from South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, who recently launched what he’s calling his opportunity agenda.

I sat down with the Republican lawmaker yesterday afternoon.


Yap.  Another typical Republican view, blame the Affordable Care Act.
