Why do we doubt the Education Freedom Tax Credit (EFTC)?
- There are no rules prohibiting Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs) from discriminating against different student populations.
- There is no guarantee that the most in need of support will get it.
- There is very little oversight of SGOs.
- SGOs are not required to disclose information about the students they support.
- The program is not designed to benefit public schools.
- The Treasury Department estimates the program will cost $26 billion annually.
- Congress cut billions in services for vulnerable children, seniors, and families to help pay for this program.
