Buttigieg: Lack of Child Care to Blame for Labor Shortage
Breitbart ^ | 11/10/2021 | Trent Baker

Posted on 11/10/2021 8:24:24 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On Wednesday, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg claimed the child care plan included in President Joe Biden’s so-called “Build Back Better Act” would help solve the ongoing labor crisis.

Buttigieg told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that “a lot of very respected economists” have predicted solving the child care issue would “ease these labor market pressures” and also inflation.

And Pete knows about child care since he and his man adopted two babies.

So see, Pete is just a working parent too, just like the rest of us.

sarcasm....

We need taxpayer-funded child care because the taxpayer-funded schools aren’t open full time.

This is what happens when you have a country run by incompetent morons who have never worked an honest job in their lives.

The closure of schools last year did contribute in a big way to this. Mothers (and the majority of parents in the US unfortunately are now single mothers) had to stay home and watch their kids “watch school” on Zoom, instead of sending them to school so they could work. Very few workers actually could work from home last year—only 30% I think I read.

Public school is a national security imperative: the United States needs an educated military, and K-12 schools can and do provide free child care so parents can go to work, helping the GDP.

Pete says it is so hard to get good childcare help nowadays and that is why he is taking the next 3 years off (with pay).

They can make up any lie, say anything, no matter how outrageous and the media will support it as fact.

And the idiots in the public will believe it, if they are even paying attention.

Is there something wrong with Mothers raising thier own children? Shouldn’t that be our goal, to have more moms staying home and raising thier kids instead of Bureaucrats?

It’s probably part of the problem, but not to the level that Buttigieg is implying.
