If memory serves, this was all happening at the same time there was a big push for federal day care centers. I think this was part of an orchestrated plan to close down small, private day-cares so they could manufacture a crisis and force the government into providing this service. They've always wanted to herd all the children into re-education centers and take away control and influence of the parents.
Bingo and they are still winning that battle, as long as women go back to work, without ever putting a pencil to the total costs of doing so.. I proved it to my old neighbor, I made her add everything up, including the daycare, clothes, gas, and tutoring for each of her kids over the years she was working.
The Doctor bills went up drastically as well because she had to bring the kids to the doctor to get a statement from the Dr. every times the kids had a minor cold, that could have been treated with TLC at home.. the day care wouldn't watch them unless they furnished that note.. plus she had tom pay another babysitter at home during the days that the minor fever took it's course.. she was furious when we were finished.. she missed her babies growing up, and lost money to boot.. truly sad!
Tinfoil hat alert! And who, pray tell, was running the operation?
