Will Delaware stop slumming childcare? Will the Solution be a government mandate regulating private childcare?

If you are poor and trying to go to work or school, your daycare options are family or warehousing. The state reimbursement rates are so low that the only way you can get quality day care is by a provider’s generousity. I call it state sponsored slumming for child care. The child care providers who open their homes or churches and help the children grow socially and intellectually are paid the exact same as people who drop them in cribs and play pens then sit them in front of televisions all day. It is a typical socialist mentality.
Some legislators are actually trying to do something about it. HB 331 is a bipartisan bill led by Representative Marshall establishes a 5 tier system based upon quality. I applaud this effort. I do find fault in that it eventually mandates participation in the out years. We do not need the state taking over any part of private education (pre-k) and mandating what standards are used. The market will work. I call upon the Republican sponsors to look at the precedent set in that one section and amend an otherwise fine bill.
Isn’t ‘currency’ (fake money) wonderful? Now, it takes two people to maintain a comfortable standard of living (with double tax collection). Of course, controlling the money supply can’t be done with gold and silver coin, as the U.S. Constitution prescribes; which is why big-government mandates currency (fake money).
Isn’t liberalism wonderful? Who needs marriage? Who needs monogamy? Just make babies and ship them off to strangers for the day.
Eventually, children will be rows of propagandiized cabbages.
‘Progress.’
