If I had a nickel every time a conservative acted like a social program to be financed directly out of their pocket, I'd be a millionaire. But I'd have to pay like 30% of it back. You know, taxes.
Anyway, nothing I listed could be considered a handout. Scholarships are an opportunity for an education, they don't just hand you a diploma. I'm all about providing the same opportunities I got. I had a safe neighborhood growing up because there was a reasonable police presence. I went to some decent schools, because at least one of the high schools I went to happened to be in an affluent area. I had access to good after-school programs to keep me out of trouble. This is simply about leveling the opportunities.
And it's not about fixing history, it's about repairing the present.
