Access to quality, affordable child care is hard to come by—particularly in Iowa’s rural areas—and our kiddos and working parents are paying the price. As a mom who has been in those situations, I’m going to keep pushing at the federal level to help tackle this crisis.
While I was out on my 99 County Tour, I visited Inman Primary School, a new daycare in my hometown of Red Oak. It’s a beautiful facility, and during my tour and discussion with the folks there, it was clear how important it is to our working families in the area.
In addition to the daycare in Montgomery County, I met with parents and local leaders of the Glidden community and heard about their incredible success story combatting the rural child care crisis in their area. Through a public-private partnership, they were able to come together and create their own child care center. The Lil’ Wildcat Education Center, which is set to launch in the 2022-2023 academic year, is the result of support from the federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and from private investments.

It's easy to be compassionate when you are spending other people's money. Republicans are just the Democrat Lite Party. The more they give, the more they take away.
What child care crisis?
>> Raise all the kids in government daycare so they can get an early start on what the government wants them to think.<<
Feed the children 2 (sometimes all) of their daily meals so they rely on government as parent who supplies their needs.
Soon, it will be mandatory to remove children and the government will bring them up.
THX 1138 was supposed to be a cautionary tale, not an instruction manual.
The “right mix of politics” would be to say the government has no role here.

How about Jobs for middle America?
How about the erasure of the Middle class?
If the Dems didn’t have the Republicans, they’d have to invent them.
How about China’s influence?

You don’t stay up all night worrying about the child care crisis in America? Me neither.
Stop all federal monies for families and local education. It is not the government’s assignment.

Ernst should lookup outsourcing of Jobs and what it does to families.
The Republicans listen to everything said on CNN, and govern from the CNN positions.

Exactly! Amazing the amount crises we have, huh?

How about Gas and Energy Prices?
Everyone knows Gas is just going to continue the Biden Expodential rise.
But Republican Senators. They are a list cause.
is she the one that got elected after hanging out in a pigsty?

Yes, and she’s an Idiot.
Still waiting for her to resist Biden.

I don’t see a childcare crisis in the rural area I live in- but many more moms are involved in small local and home-based businesses than are working “in the city”-they either home school their kids or belong to a homeschool co-op with other local moms. This area has had a lot of homeschooling parents for years now, but that way of doing things really took off when the Wuhan virus closed the schools and closed most but the home-based small businesses, making money really tight.
Parents liked the way it worked and many didn’t send kids back to school when they re-opened-it is saving working class families money, it is easy to do with a business based at home, provides a REAL education for kids and keeps them from being indoctrinated by government teachers/daycare workers-if it works here, why won’t it work in other rural areas?
Joni with a heavy dose of Bush, compassionate conservationism. Urp.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Patriots are reminded that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to dictate edicts, tax and spend in the name of INTRAstate child care.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
What the referenced mom and author needs to do is this. Instead of continuing to abuse her 17th Amendment power by electing corrupt senators who help the likewise corrupt House to unconstitutionally expand the powers of the already unconstitutionally big federal government, she needs go to her local and state government leaders and get them up to speed with the following.
The constitutional reality that it is difficult for the states to use their 10th Amendment-protect state power to tax and spend to supplement child care because the unconstitutionally big federal government keeps stealing state revenues by means of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers according to the Gibbons v. Ogden excerpt above.
In fact, the congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had clarified that the delegates to the Constitutional Convention had left the care of the people uniquely to the states, not the feds.
”[…] the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphases added].” —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe, 1866. (See about middle of 3rd column.)
Justice Brandeis later reflected on Bingham's words when he introduced his "laboratories of democracy" metaphor to describe 10A protected state powers, ultimately depending on what the legal majority citizen voters of a given state want.
"It is one of the happy incidents of the federal system that a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose [emphasis added], serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country.” —Justice Brandeis, Laboratories of democracy.
After her state leads the rest of the states to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes, then each state will ultimately find a tsunami of new revenues that it probably won’t know what to do with imo, provide more child care assistance for starters.
And to make such changes permanent, patriots need to work with their state lawmakers to repeal the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments.
I know, Let’s Lower the Cost of Government so Only one parent has to work.
It’s right after the child obesity or children go hungry at night crisis. Keep getting my crisis mixed up.
Here we go.
Another politician trying to justify her existence.
