When you’ve dumped all you can on the living Republicans, start dumping on the dead ones.
The Great Society/feminism is to blame for this part of the mess, not lack of universal state-funded daycare.
Child care for liberals is islamic rape madrassas, Planned Parenthood and trannies indoc of children
Nixon veoted a bill to create a nationalized day care system almost 50 years ago, and so it’s Nixon’s fault that we are seeing day care problems due to this virus?????
If it was so outrageous that Nixon vetoed such a bill, why didn’t good Democrat presidents such as Bill Clinton or Barack Obama pass that legislation, when they had Democrat majorities in Congress during their presidencies?
It has been simmering below the surface for decades and can be traced back to President Richard M. Nixons 1971 veto of federally funded universal child care, which created our bifurcated approach to child care that considers the needs of some and not others.
Dems have been in control of Congress and the Presidency multiple times since Nixon was President, the latest being when Obama took office. Looks like the Kenyan’s fault to me.
We have a federal government with a 5 trillion budget and 26 trillion deficit.
It ALWAYS more and more big bloated sugar daddy government.
If these single mothers can’t afford child care then maybe they shouldn’t have kids. Where are the fathers?
“You don’t have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore.”
I see the Post still hasnt gotten over its obsessive hatred of Nixon.
Perhaps we should lower the tax burden to the point where a male "head of household" could afford to support a WIFE and family.
The nurturers of the species, women, would be free to love and raise children to be functional adults rather than attention-starved, spoiled, under-educated, angry nincompoops.
Flame away, feminists.
Nixon was one of the first President to time travel.
Beating a “dead horse” doesn’t even come close to describing this screed by the biased and prejudiced Washington Compost.
Correction:
Nixon IS one of the first President to time travel.
Almost 50 years ago, 20 years of 'D'emocrat Administrations, not to say years of 'D' dominated US Congresses and this veto was what created this CRISIS?! I seem to remember a big witch-trial scandal in the late 70s involving child care and molestations. Just imagine that with Federal fundings involved, would this law have stayed in place? Common conceit amongst these writers, they assume perfection where history shows anything but.
This is the author; "Anna K. Danziger Halperin is the Andrew W. Mellon postdoctoral fellow in womens history and public history at the New-York Historical Society. She is writing a book on the history of child care, motherhood and race since the 1960s."
Nixon died 26 years ago and left the Presidency 46 years ago. Why didn’t the liberals do something about it over that near half-century? And by the way, that happens to match Joe Biden’s tenure in public office perfectly. Why not blame him?
When stuff like this comes out, it must mean rat internal polling shows declining support from suburban soccer moms.
Rest assured that the National Day Care Worker’s Union by now would have been on strike because their workers are endangered because of COVID-19.
“He’s tanned, he’s fit, he’s ready! Nixon 2024!”
There is a method to their madness and a reason why Richard Nixon is being brought up. Many of us see the games they play.
It’s W Wilson FAULT
Didn’t he press Women’s Vote?
