Nancy Pelosi Wants A Federal Babysitting Service

Buried in a Washington Post story about Herman Cain calling Nancy Pelosi, "Princess Nancy" is a new policy idea that Pelosi has been pitching recently during her short tour through California.
"One of the great pieces of unfinished business is high-quality child care; I wonder why we just can’t do that,’’ she recently said to a California audience.
By "we", Pelosi means the federal government. Pelosi clarified that Congress should be “doing for child care what we did for health-care reform.”
The Post characterizes Pelosi as touting the economic and social benefits of government child-sitting:
When it comes to “unleashing women” in a way that would boost the economy, she says, “this is a missing link.”
According to Pelosi, the babysitting market — one of the last unregulated sectors of the American economy — is broken.
“I could never get a babysitter — have five kids in six years and no one wants to come to your house. . . . And everywhere I go, women say the same thing,” she said.
This is an odd thing for Pelosi to be hearing since her San Francisco district has more dogs than children.
Perhaps after Pelosi boosts the economy by separating mothers from their gross offspring, she can work on "unleashing" dog-owners on the economy as well.

YOUR CHILDREN!!
>> she says, “this is a missing link.”
She is the missing link.
A government babysitting service?! Gee, you don’t think that the sitters will be pedophiles, do you? What a load of poop.
I could just see the government babysitter making $20.00 per hour so that the person can go to his/her job at McDonalds to make under $8.00 per hour.
The public schools aren’t brainwashing kids at a high enough rate.
We can either have a peaceful revolution in 2012, or a violent one in 2013.
Melt her down and recover the fiberglass.
“Unleashing women” as if to say that mothering isn’t a full-time job already.
GFY, Nancy!
Yup, subsidized by those of us who have reared our children on our dime.
Why not? We have more money than we know what to do with.
You’re right. They cut half day kindergarten to full day kindergarten. Next, there will be mandatory pre-school... all day. Remove the children younger and younger so Mom and Dad don’t do evil things like teach their children about God, right from wrong etc... Start teaching them younger about mother earth, recycling as a religion, not to eat meat... They have to get their claws into them younger and younger to undue the parents. IMHO.
Cover for getting tattle tails into the majority of homes in the USA.
Not only no but HELL F##king NO!
I woke up thinking that if things don’t change quickly and in a big way, there might be some big trouble in the USA.
Then I get on FR and read this sh!t and I know that if things don’t change there is going to be problems.
This people need to be taken out of office and away from power, hopefully by the political process but in the end (fill in the blank)
People rearrange their lives to accommodate their various schedules. Child pickup and drop-off is coordinated between husband, wife, friends and family with military precision. Grandparents move so they can help. Fathers and/or mothers accept non-optimal jobs to share the burden and joys of family. This is the way it should be. What would Nancy have instead? Is she thinking that welfare queens would suddenly go to work? That won’t happen.
Otto Von Bismarck came up with the idea of Kindergarten. His quote, loosely translated was, “Give me a mind young enough and I will mold it into the ideal citizen of the state.” Very progressive, Bismarck. He didn’t like families raising children as they polluted the mind with non-state ideas about religion and taxes and military service, etc.
BOHICA….when you think of ANY Ideas from these guys!!!
Yup. More AA, over-paid, Democrat voting union goons with lifetime pensions after eight years.
She is advocating the same thing some European countries do. The state picks up the tab for child care. Cradle to the grave. It’s all about our parents and guardians being Federal employees. Aren’t we just the best touhy feely country? /sarc
Nanny Pelosi strikes again!
“What would Nancy have instead? Is she thinking that welfare queens would suddenly go to work? That won’t happen.”
No, this isn’t targeted at welfare queens. I’ve heard many middle class complain about the cost of daycare. Even heard some say the government should subsidize/pay for childcare. Even had one say it would be a ‘good investment’ since the government would collect more taxes if there were more dual income families. It’s all about buying votes from working families with children.
The Euro-peon-ization of America rages on!
