Tax and spend Ohio Treasurer
« on: January 16, 2008, 03:52:00 PM »
This has to be the dumbest idea I have heard in a while.

http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2008/01/16/ap4540115.html

"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?
