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.
Stop all federal monies for families and local education. It is not the government’s assignment.

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.
"As a mom who has been in those situations, I’m going to keep pushing at the federal level [??? emphasis added] to help tackle this crisis."
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.
Here we go.
Another politician trying to justify her existence.
I thought Ernst was one of ours?
Ernst is weird, since her first election and was, I think, one who had a strong opponent in her re-election?
She came out for sympathy (well earned) saying she had been assaulted when she was young. But, she looked like it had just happened! She looked like hell, pale and unkempt.
She won her re-election, though. There ya’ are.
In most areas child care is more expensive than private school tuition.
It used to be that grandparents took a shift of watching the kids.
They aspire to nothing more than being Assistant Democrats.
If parents cared for their own kids there’d be no crisis
Hmmmmm. Just pondering this child care crisis from a historical perspective. Let’s see here, in the 60’s and before that, there was no child care crisis. I wonder why??
Now we have the left taking hold in the 60’s and making advances in the 70’s. Now child care facilities spring up. Hmmm, why?
Fast forward to today, and oh, what a mess. The left is in full charge, and we have a child care crisis.
I will now commit heresy. If the left had left the family unit alone where there is a dedicated mother that is married to a dedicated father, there would be no need for child care.
Absolutely. Not only is it unfair to those who stay with their children rather than farming them out, but it also ups the pressure on all families to farm their kids out by upping the financial incentives for it.
