  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

"Universal day care" is class war against normal people

That is why I said if you know you cannot afford children do not have them. If you fall on hard times there ARE programs for that, but it is still not the government's job to provide free care for your children.

Actually, the government’s job is what we the people say it is. You may want to vote for only the bare minimum of help and I may want to vote for more substantial funding.

Just as a heads up, this is Trump's answer to a question on his position: MSN

"It's a very important issue," Trump continued. "But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I'm talking about ... that, because...child care is child care—it's....couldn't, you know, it's something you have to have it in this country, you have to have it."

"But when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of numbers that I'm talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they're not used to ... Those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we're talking about, including child care, that it's going to take care of it.'

Mmm. Child care is child care. Thanks, mate. If that sounds coherent to you, if you can pick the bones out of it, he's going to make imported goods more expensive for families to help them out with child care.

I'm reminded of the quote "Universal health care is such a complex beast that only 32 of the world's 33 developed nations have been able to make it work." Not exactly the same thing, but similar.

Novelist JD Vance makes a strong point against day care for normal people; it's simply class war. ‘Universal child care’ is a massive subsidy to the lifestyle preferences of the affluent over the preferences of the middle and working class” he opined.

Can it be that the secret to having affordable day care for struggling families is simply to not have it because it only benefits those who can a afford it? The millionaire venture capitalist gives single parents and households where both parents work to make ends meet sound advice that they need to be more 'normal' to avoid the trap of needing childcare.

J.D. Vance, author of “Hillbilly Elegy,” the book that poor-splained Appalachia to a certain segment of well-off society makes his point clearly and with a no nonsence manner including such advice as having grand parents look after the kids but are they an effective way of helping low income families of any generation afford day care for their kids?

Thoughts?

.... Don't worry. With the ongoing implementation of outsourcing jobs, along with that of putting A.I. in place across the board, the problem of needed day care will soon be taken care of, ................ across the board.

How many of these 32 nations have aircraft carrier groups plying the world’s oceans, though?

Several of them have given billions to Ukraine in the last few years. (None is so foolish to give billions to a wealthy country like Israel.)
