Fox Business host Stuart Varney is blasting President Barack Obama’s proposal to provide high-quality early education for poor and middle-class children, saying that the plan is just Democrats handing out “goodies” and “free stuff” in an attempt to buy votes.

During a segment titled “Who’s Ruining the Economy?” Varney joined Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy on Friday to talk about Obama’s effort to “establish a continuum of high-quality early learning for a child – beginning at birth and continuing to age 5.”

“Look what the president is doing here, it’s a repeat performance of his campaign, which is you raise taxes on the rich and you offer all kinds of free stuff to people who will vote for you in the future,” Varney charged. “Free preschool education for 4 year olds, it’s free, here it is. Hand out the goodies.”
