| Senators, by establishing a national voucher system where all schools compete for the same money, we ensure an education system with competition, cost-effectiveness, one that is customer oriented towards our kids, and one who gives freedom of choice and the ability to receive a private education even to the poorest kids, instead of referring them to substandard public establishments.
