The typical [[left-wing]] argument goes that school choice programs shouldn't be implemented because it "robs money from public schools" and thus "hurts [[public education]]". However, all public funding comes from taxpayer money, so funding voucher programs only siphons off what would normally go to public schools. Thus, it almost always cause a reduction of public education funding, but it's not the same as "robbing". In addition, this argument runs on the premise that [[public schools]] will work as long as it receives what's perceived to be "sufficient" money, which is untrue in vast numbers of cases. Many public schools are granted with large sums for their budget, but they wind up lagging behind or failing, not because the sums are never enough, but because money alone doesn't address corruption that often lies in teachers' unions, rather the added money only adds fuel to the fire that perpetuates major problems. Often times those who manage the received funds may engage in [[cronyism]], resulting in waste, fraud, and abuse. Thus, the idea that school choice programs hurt public education because it leads to cuts in public school funding is largely misled and deceptive, as the large sums of funding that public schools already receive are shown to be quite useless in numerous cases in regards to addressing and fixing problems.
