Repurpose Existing Taxpayer Resources from Ineffective Programs for Military Education Savings Accounts. Issue Brief No. 4943
Butcher, Jonathan
Heritage Foundation
In 2019, Congress is considering a proposal to give children from military families more quality learning options through education savings accounts. Washington does not need new taxpayer spending to create these learning options for children in military families. Congress should repurpose existing spending from duplicative and ineffective programs for the education savings accounts. Based on the examples of fraud and waste documented by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Inspector General and elsewhere, Congress has plenty of sources from which to choose in order to fund the savings accounts.
