Government-funded daycare is unadulterated socialism.

Not really. While the government is the proposed vehicle for the collecting of the proposed $10 million dollars a year for day care, the funding is totally voluntary based upon the free will purchase of overpriced lattes in trendy coffee shops where the tips jars themselves receive much more than 10 cents per sale. Furthermore, the recipient of the taxes does not necessarily have to be a gray bureaucratic agency where as someone conjectured only 25% of the funds would go to helping children. The recipient could be a private agency with an excellent track record and a high service to overhead ratio. These are local issues which the good people of Seattle I trust can figure out for themselves.

Huh?

[Truth Addict]

No thinking adult wants government to run programs that compete or encroach into their business or livelihood. When it comes to children all of a sudden it is great to have the government run the show? Most government run K-12 school are not teaching children to read and do math at a level that is desirable, so why do you want the same people to run PreK, taking it away from the private sector?
