This week Mitt Romney caught supporters of public education off guard by unveiling his pro-voucher, free-market plan for America’s schools. On Saturday’s show we’ll discuss the plan and how it compares to President Obama’s “Race to the Top”. We'll also continue our discussion about the merits of private equity, as President Obama ramps up his attacks against Mitt Romney’s time at Bain Capital. Plus, we'll look at what went wrong with Facebook's IPO.
