The article author closes with:

For Lujan Grisham, though, “universal” means everyone — even millionaires’ kids. For New Mexicans, it means a bigger bullseye on their paychecks to cover the growing cost of government handouts.

I saw this somewhere yesterday and all I could do was shake my head. Sorry CedarDave.

[Paladin2]

Sounds collectivist and fascist.

[blackdog]

I raise my kids. I’m not turning them over to the state.

New Mexico and free child care?

Doesn’t anyone realize NM is the hub of child sex trafficking?

[Orosius]

All the illegal aliens she’s sheltering need jobs, so she’ll put them on the state payroll “caring for” your children while you work two private sector jobs to pay the taxes for it.

[Navy Patriot]

Apparently, the New Mexican Gubernatorial Agent plans to Groom even the Rich Kids into the Trans Cult from birth!

[Nateman]

This is literally paying mother’s to have kids without dad’s. This is why so many prisons have an overrepresented population of blacks. Blacks have the most single mom homes out of any group. This is a sure fire recipe for ruining youth.

If you’re gonna go commie, you may as well go full commie.
With NM scoring low on many index’s, I’m sure this will help...

[MinorityRepublican]

I raise my kids. I’m not turning them over to the state.

We are already doing that. Even Conservatives. Except for Donald Trump.

[blackdog]

Also why I pay for my kids to go to college. No FAFSA, or loans. It’s not by neighbors role to send my children to college. My children don’t need to be burdened with student loans. (They did have to pay for their meals. That puts them into a part time job to keep them from getting into trouble)

[ckilmer]

The guy is trolling for votes.

[fishtank]

Free day care for the kids who survive MLG’s abortions.

[fishtank]

Of course she wouldn’t support vouchers, though.

[boomop1]

indoctrination centers.

[AlaskaErik]

That means even millionaires’ children will be entitled to “free” (taxpayer-funded) daycare — all at the expense of hardworking taxpayers.

The rich aren't going to let their children mingle with the children of the great unwashed masses. Thay already have nannies for their children. But they will be expected to foot the bill for this largess.

[gundog]

Dunno if she rises to the level of being called by her initials. My Little Governor works, though.

Two moms can share the same job, and childcare, three days’ work one week, four days the following week, alternating.

If working for say Amazon or Walmart, with 10-hour days, they would average 35 hours a week and not have child care costs.

For married women doing office work, two moms can share the same job, and childcare, two days’ work one week, three days the following week, alternating.

With 9-hour days, they would average 22.5 hours a week and not have child care costs.

With 10-hour days, they would average 25 hours a week and not have child care costs.

And many jobs allow for getting work done at home, so even more hours are possible.

It doesn’t even have to be the same job, just the same alternating schedule.
