Proving There is Never Enough Money – Krystle Able

If Krystle Able still can’t admit that any time government takes over a multi‑billion‑dollar, tax payer funded industry like healthcare, criminal fraud is inevitable, then she’s not just missing the point — she’s part of the criminal machinery that keeps the problem alive.
She should move to Mexico.
This is the same Democrat tactic used by the teachers union. If some other district gets this benefit or wage then we should get it.
Why should I or anyone else pay for child care? As I mentioned in another article comment we didn’t have this in the 60’s or 70’s and children still got care. Today people are living beyond their means and think everyone else should pay for something. My mother did not work and we lived on my father’s pay and not beyond our means.
Where does this socialism stop? I need a vehicle so everyone else needs to subsidize me.
Child care is not a Constitutional right!
I wonder what she thinks about the Insurrection Act?
People are living beyond their needs? No People are working and need child care, People who are living paycheck to paycheck. Most women do not have the luxury of staying home, they have to work. The cost of living is sky high with unaffordable housing, food and health care services.
New Mexico isn’t Mexico, it’s a state not a country. If anyone had done any research on this forum, Florida, Oklahoma, Vermont and Washington DC offer free pre school and kindergarten. Kentucky, Washington all have free child care. States that are considering free child care are: Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Rhode Island.
Just because you don’t like Social
safety net that allows families that have to work the means to do so, then unemployment will go up and families in poverty will fall farther behind. The job market is going soft with unemployment ticking up. I guess higher unemployment rate is the goal here.
Driving through Starbucks isn’t a need but there is always a long line
What does Starbucks have to do with child care? Nothing. How many people did you ask in the Starbucks line about their child care and how much they pay for child care? This isn’t even anecdotal.
This isn’t 1950 the cost of food is astronomical, rent is high and the cost of a mortgage means that there has to be two wage earners in a family. As I stated child care in other states is free from preschool to kindergarten. Most people don’t go to Starbucks in fact millions of people don’t stand in line for coffee but they stand in line for food.
Move to one or become low income. Illinois is paying for it
Having children would be no more different than me buying a Rolls Royce and living beyond my means. Just maybe some people shouldn’t have children now without the income needed to support them. So get off of my back and others to support your family! That is your problem! Get a better job, more education, etc. to support your family. That is exactly what the wage earner did in my family.
There is never enough money, sacrifices need to be made
‘If anyone had done any research on this forum, Florida, Oklahoma, Vermont and Washington DC offer free pre school and kindergarten. Kentucky, Washington all have free child care.

sorry, but nothing is ‘free’…someone, and in these cases it’s taxpayers, pay for it.
