Well said! And if you look to Arizona where vouchers are in effect, the governor has predicted them bankrupting the state in the coming years. Turns out the people who benefitted from the vouchers were the people already enrolled in private schools, thereby just reducing their tuition. For the lower income families they were supposed to help, those families found the vouchers didn't cover all of the expenses and they couldn't afford the difference. They also didn't have a transportation solution to get their kids to/from the private schools as buses don't operate the same way as public schools.
