What could possibly go wrong with this plan? Well, since most media outlets are in the tank for Democrats, they fail to ask or consider the ramifications
Biden administration plans to cap how much families pay for child care through a government program
Vice President Kamala Harris said Tuesday that the government plans to put a cap on how much families pay for child care as part of the Child Care & Development Block Grant program.
Speaking to reporters, Harris went through the details of a proposed rule by the Department of Health and Human Services that follows an executive order on the issue that President Joe Biden signed in April. Families would pay no more than 7% of their income for child care through the program and child care providers would find it easier to be paid on time. The proposal also wants to encourage states to let families apply online for care.
Harris touted the possible savings for families.
“Let’s take a family in Montana making $46,000 a year—they could save about $80 every month, or almost over $1,000 a year,” the vice president said. “That money could go to gas and groceries or to fix a leaky roof.”
Where’s this money coming from? Who’s paying for it? Who authorized it? From that link in the excerpt
But the directives would be funded out of existing commitments, possibly including last year’s laws financing infrastructure projects and building computer chip plants. That likely means their impact would be limited and possess more of a symbolic weight about what’s possible. The Democratic president was far more ambitious in 2021 by calling to provide more than $425 billion to expand child care, improve its affordability and boost wages for caregivers.
So taking money that was appropriated for something else to buy votes. Seriously, child care isn’t exactly cheap, from what I hear. And what will happen going forward? Well, child care services will learn what it means to be in bed with the federal government, and have Los Federales up their butts all the time, and how the government isn’t exactly reliable with payments. And then the child care services will jack up their prices with all that sweet, sweet federal money floating around, much like the way college prices exploded when the feds backed student loans via Obamacare and made them easier to take out.
Will the child care companies be paid directly, or will the money go to the parents? If the latter, this will increase the number of welfare queens with children from multiple fathers, and this will be off the backs of the middle class taxpayers. Who’s kids are these? Why are other people responsible for their cost of upbringing? And, it will get the federal government heavily involved in their lives.
