Trump drives me crazy, but I think the Democrats are crazy now. They are far more of a danger to this country than Trump at this point. And I don’t want it to be that way. I want real choices, but y’all are forcing more and more people into the Trump camp every day.

So you would compare Senator Warren, who set up a Consumer Protection Bureau to protect average Americans to Trump, a lifetime grifter who ripped off fellow Americans at his bogus university and stiffed hard working American contractors out of payments due them. That is a toss up for you? Really? My ten year old niece has enough smarts, empathy and integrity to find that choice and stark difference in character a no-brainer.

Again, well worth the cost if the care is quality.
So she wants to put a ceiling on the price that can be charged for the service and dramatically increase the cost of production. This is sure to go just as she has forecasted. Sounds like AOC is drafting her policy.

I would not want Warren in charge of picking up my trash, let alone being in charge of this country.

Why do weird Democrats on this forum think a job that requires no higher education than a high school diploma, and involves work that a responsible teenager could do, should pay the same as a college-educated professional?

You have to realise that some people don't actually care about others outside of their immediate vicinity and like to believe made up fairytales like Trump, a billionaire documented *********, as some sort of blue collar hero.

Do y’all ever think?
Eh? Those like AOC want to move away from fossil fuels to renewable green energy to create millions of green jobs. What don't you understand about moving from one industry to the other to save our planet and provide good-paying jobs at the same time?

If people babysitting young children want to be paid the same as those who went to college to become a teacher, and then develop and deliver on lesson plans, give extra attention to those falling behind while simultaneously engaging the "fast leaners," and then sometimes stay up late in the evening grading papers, then they need to go to college to become a teacher (if they are smart enough and motivated enough to do so).

Disclosure: Mom was a teacher. It is an insult to pay babysitters what she earned, especially after the sacrifices she made to go to college (which included working her way through).

You do realize that many daycares DO have lesson plans and offer much more than babysitting, right? They don’t just sit around doing nothing all day. Many do have college degrees. I have met people who actually had teaching degrees and certifications who were working in daycares.

Leftists already complain about the cost of child care and here they are cheering on increasing those costs dramatically. The inconsistencies and hypocrisy among them is astounding.
