President Obama, are 1,750 Students worth .0015% of the budget?

George Will puts the D.C. voucher program in proper economic perspective by comparing a year's funding of the program against the money fountain of stimulus dollars being piped around by the current administration.

He makes an interesting point that the teacher unions contributed four times as much money to the Democrats as the D.C. voucher program would cost. I'm sure that's a coincidence.

I'd be interested to see an analysis of how much it cost to take a retinue of 500 staffers on the excellent adventure in Europe. I wonder if there are $15 millions in earmarks anywhere in the stimulus funds.
