Title: Tax and spend Ohio Treasurer
Post by: Mickey1992 on January 16, 2008, 03:52:00 PM

This has to be the dumbest idea I have heard in a while.

"Ohioans will soon be able to open state-backed savings accounts that will deliver above-market interest rates in exchange for a promise to take personal finance classes, Ohio Treasurer Richard Cordray announced Wednesday."

$25 million dollars in our tax money to be used to pay interest to Ohioans who open special savings accounts and attend a finance class.

How about just lowering taxes and let us keep the money in the first place?

I would agree with you, in any other state but Ohio.
