its funny how conservatives are supposed to be all about "the family" but when it comes to helping working families it turns into a "liberal agenda". some great family values you got there.
What are you 14 years old.
There is no burden upon me because I couldn't care less what you think of me or if you ever educate yourself on this matter or not.
So assume what you want and live in ignorant partisan bliss if you like, it is no skin off my nose.
Not familiar with how forum discussions work, huh? You make a claim, you back it up ... or you get called on your BS.

Can't someone be pro-family yet also expect a little responsibility and self-reliance?

Don't you think that actually having a job IS responsible & self-reliant? That's what this whole topic is about, workplaces (meaning the place you go to work & collect a paycheck) providing daycare.
Yes, people are too ignorant to figure out how to take care of their kids while they go to work. Thanks liberals, your do anything and let the givernment take care of the consequences is coming full circle.
Obama is now pushing for more daycare in the workplace and guess who is going to pay for all that?
Apparently, all the abortion rights aren't having the desired effect.
Day care at work is a wonderful situation. As a teacher that taught at a campus that had a teacher kid day care, I can tell you how effective it was. The employees still have to pay for it, but it is much easier to work with and it cut down on employee absences. The kids and parents were very happy with this situation.
Some companies like BP offer sick kid care for their employees, so they miss work less. They cover the gap that a traditional day care can't fill. I think it's fantastic. Obviously they aren't liberal at all, but this works for their company.

Having a job is fine, but expecting others to pay for babysitting so that you can work is not a sign of self-reliance at all; it's dependence.
Why is it that so much of the mud slinging and insulting comes from Conservatives? Considering that side is the one with the "Religious Right" playing such a large role in their primaries, I'd have thought they'd be kinder/gentler & maybe follow their religious guidings in terms of how to treat others.
I will say I agree that I don't believe it's the job of the federal government to mandate universal daycare for working parents. I'd rather it be at the state level via tax incentives or something to encourage the market to step in.

Who's expecting others to pay for babysitting?
