The Obama administration wants more women to work outside the home, and it is examining ways to make that happen.
Among other things, Stevenson said the Working Families Summit will consider ways to "release constraints" on women, including their role as care-givers, which deprive them of wages and career opportunities:
(President Obama also spoke of the "burdens" on women Wednesday. During a meeting with female members of Congress, he noted that "women are still the ones that are carrying the greatest burden when it comes to trying to balance family and work. Because of inadequate child care or the inability to get paid leave for a sick child or an ailing parent, they end up suffering the burdens, and by the way, that means families are suffering the burden because increasingly, women are a critical breadwinner for families all across the country.")

“The guvment will then set up state run daycares to be paid for with your tax dollars.”
And the worst part is that government daycare will be mandated. No more staying with Grandma or a daycare provider chosen by you.
Evil — there is no other word for the Democrat Party.
Just plain evil.
Taxpayers already pay for other people’s kids daycare. Most States have programs that pay for most of the daycare for low income parents. Then some States have so many licensing fees, teacher education and certification requirements and food, other regulations that the daycares that participate in the program are unaffordable, making all parents low income and thereby qualifying for gov’t assistance.
Some States have declared these daycare workers gov’t employees and unionize them.
“How about cutting all Middle Class families’ taxes in half, so that working women don’t have to work to pay their families’ taxes?In the ‘50s, mothers could stay home and tend to their children and home because families could get along nicely on the father’s paycheck.”
Women willingly turn themselves into human batteries, working full-time jobs and caring for children, just to pay TAXES?! Make me laugh.
Families can still live on one paycheck if they embrace the 50s lifestyle: one car per married couple (no car loans), small houses, no credit cards, no passports, free broadcast TV only, one landline, and one cheap cell phone for emergencies.
All the men who are willing to give up the bonus room, the SUV, and the jet ski, raise your hands.
All the women who are willing to go back to five dresses, three pairs of shoes, two purses and a Sunday dress, raise your hands.
(I’m not seeing any hands...)
I’m 52. Never had “family leave”, sick days, flexible hours or anything even close to that.
Why do folks think that employers should pay for time that the employee don’t work? Heck, I’m an employee and I don’t have enough balls to even ask.
What do you do? Go, “hey boss, my kids got a cold so I’m gonna take a few days off. Sorry. You know that’s really a burden on me so I’m sure you won’t mind being sure that you make up for the hours I’m not here.”
Then you get back to work. A cold lasts, generally, 7 days. Lets say you don’t have to work weekends so you’re only out 5 days. Of course, you catch the kids cold.
“Hey boss, I’m feeling pretty bad. Got a cold. So I’ll be taking a few of those sick days that I have built up.”
Really? I was brought up to think that I’d get paid for the hours I worked. I must be a real sucker.
When my son was a baby he was sick a lot, and I had to miss work to stay home and take care of him. The company I worked for let me go because of missing too much work. I understood why they had to do it; I would have never thought that just because I worked for them that they were responsible for my family situations.
Why not just take the children away from their parents at birth and start indoctrinating them from scratch? /sarc/
This already exists at least in Ohio. “Help Me Grow” a function of local Health Departments and Districts. Apparently becoming federalized. No reason to. Local counties fund/funded it. But is an area of potential federal encroachment, like education and nutrition in schools etc. Everything! [All at First ‘Lady’s’ Fiat]
Napoleon sees little value in Snowball’s committees, but he says he believes in the importance of educating the young. When two dogs give birth, Napoleon trains their nine puppies in a secret place...
Just as Snowball finishes speaking, Napoleon makes an odd whimpering sound. Suddenly nine vicious dogs, the dogs Napoleon had reared from pups, bound into the barn. The dogs jump at Snowball, who runs. The dogs chase Snowball, who flees through a hole in a hedge that leads out of Animal Farm. Once Snowball is gone, the dogs surround Napoleon like a guard. Napoleon announces to the terrified and silent farm animals that the Sunday meetings are over. A special committee of pigs will now decide all Animal Farm policy and give weekly orders on Sunday morning when the animals gather to salute the flag and sing “Beasts of England.”

It’s already like that some places. Your kids can’t stay at the neighbors after school because they are not “licensed” providers. I’m sure they are working on a plot to issue parenting licenses. If you don’t pass govt mandated training then your kids have to attended govt daycare.
