And speaking of stimulus. Joe Biden announced that $2.3 billion in federal stimulus money is going to be spent on child care programs and to help the "less fortunate" get vaccinated.
Again, my question remains: how in the hell is the economic stimulus?
The money will go to the Child Care and Development Fund that can help states pay for child care for parents who are working, looking for work or going to school. The concept of these people actually funding their own means of child care is not an option .. because it doesn't make them dependent on government. And Joe Biden says that these parents "shouldn't have to worry about finding affordable, quality day care." Why shouldn't they have to worry about it? It is their child! This child does not belong to the government. The parents chose to bring this child into the world and therefore should be responsible for taking care of it, and that includes finding a dang babysitter. It is not the government's job to provide you with a babysitting service.
Oh and the other part of this announcement included $300 million to help the "less fortunate" get vaccinated. Don't ya just love that phrase .. the less fortunate? It implies that somehow, you are able to pay for your own vaccinations because you are lucky. And that person over there, they can't afford it because they have been unlucky. Therefore the government should pay to help them in their misfortune.
And part of this money will also be used to educate people about the importance of getting their shots. Again, my question: how is educating people on the importance of getting shots going to stimulate our economy? Seems like a simple question, considering this was included in an "economic stimulus" bill.
End result? A few more people are added to the list of those who believe that their health care is the responsibility of the government. That's the goal here ... government dependency. Nothing less.
