With states under pressure to cut their budgets and federal stimulus money gone, low-income working parents are facing a paradox. Just when they have to work longer hours to make ends meet, they are losing access to the thing they need most to stay on the job: a government subsidy that helps pay for child care.
Huge budget problems but we can't cut wasteful corn subsidies.
You can't mess with those farmers, damn it!!!!!!
Heart Wrenching Emotion Driven story to further the cause for "Government to help cause no one else can!!!"
Super conservatives always say that charity, or the neighbors should help the poor, but why the hell don't they? I mean they do to an extent, but there is a reason these programs were created, because the private market just wasn't cuttin it. Oh wait, sorry, I forgot, the reason these programs were created was to make the poor dependent on the government and to make them vote democrat, RIGHTTTTT!

Yes, we can see from the cost that Government can afford to get it done too.
Do you know why child care costs so damned much? Regulations, state and federal requirements... it's a pain in the ASS to run a day care. I have a friend whose wife ran a day care for 3 years then gave it up. "It was just too hard to keep up the costs of training, licencing, following every damn regulation and oh yeah, carrying a lawyer in case little timmy stubbed his toe and momma sued."
You'll note that they are still there despite the programs.
My point is, if they were really working, fixing the problems, the programs wouldn't be needed in the first place.
The government could easily afford it and more, if we didn't spend all our money on stuff like oil subsidies for people who don't need it, maintaining a world wide military force, occupying whole countries. If we were allowed to actually raise taxes aka raise revenue, we wouldn't need to take deep cuts into services people actually use/need to get by on.
Do you have anything sensible to say, or just rhetoric?
One could say the same about your comments.
As for child care costs, the regulation is obviously needed due to bad people that ran day cares where there was one person for 10 or more kids. Children got hurt, neglected, and abused. Maybe instead of blaming the regulations you should blame the people that ran bad day cares.
Yeah, it's not the regulators fault Day Care is so costly that hundreds of millions of dollars of Tax Payer cash is needed to help "poor people" out.

My view: Huge budget problems, but we can't raise any taxes....:roll:
Do you have anything sensible to say, or just rhetoric? Maybe people should plan their lives better and live within their means instead of doing whatever the **** they want and then demanding that society pick up the tab for their failures.
lol its not the children's fault their parents make bad decisions.
Maybe the half billion dollars that was pissed away on Solyndra should have been spent on this?
Or, maybe the people who spit these brats out into the world should take care of their own responsibilities?
I'm going with the latter.

I'm sorry, but how are these very young & innocent children "brats"?
