Think hard about Federal inroads in childcare.

EXPECT CHILD CARE COSTS TO RISE AFTER FEDERAL INVOLVEMENT

FEDERAL SUBSIDIES WILL HAVE LOTS OF STRINGS 

In the new spending bill is a plan to provide free child care for children 1 to 5 years olds for child care expenses. It is likely that in a very short time childcare costs, will be higher. It is likely that the supposed childcare crisis will soon become a real crisis.

States will need to opt in and eventually will be forced to shoulder more of the costs. It will be administered by the department of Health and Human services. It will set the guidelines as to who will qualify as an authorized child care facility.

Do you think that you will be able to obtain any credit for care provided by a family member, the church, or the lady next door, it will have to be a federally licensed and regulated, day care center?

Will your present care center be qualified, without lots of regulation that will cost lots of money and be passed onto you?

Will the employees have to certified by some agency or worse, be part of some government union?

Think hard about the government in effect taking over child care, because that is what this is all about. 

Will the curriculum need to be endorsed by the federal government?

Will the federal government entry into day-care drive most small and individual care workers out of the business? Then there will be a shortage of day-care and a need for more government action. 

I could go on and on about the possibilities of the result of government intervention into yet another business that they have no constitutional authority to be involved.
