Not satisfied with record-level social-welfare spending, President Obama doubled down during the State of the Union Address and a recent visit to the University of Kansas by calling for expanding federal day care subsidies and tripling the child care tax credit. Recalling that Uncle Sam provided “universal child care” for his “Rosie the Riveter” grandmother during World War II, Mr. Obama insisted that government must do likewise today.
Yet the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt never considered its wartime day care policy, or the wartime boost in the labor-force participation by mothers, the ideal. Day care “is a stop gap, not a solution to anything,” quipped Mary Anderson, who ran the Labor Department’s Women’s Bureau at the time. Indeed, the agency charged with coordinating state day care facilities during the war, the U.S. Children's Bureau, made certain that the three-year program was dismantled as soon as the war was over. “The first responsibility of women with young children,” the bureau maintained, “is to give suitable care in their own home to their children.”

This is a hallmark of Marxism.
The State will have oversight of your children because these Communists think they belong to the nation first then your family. He is endorsing State brainwashing.
Let HIM fn pay for it.
why do we need daycare when so many parents dont work
we are rotting from within. This was a brilliant move by the Muslims.
Germany had these too, "Kinderlargers" is the name, they were indoctrination schools, to mold young minds into the Nazi way of thinking.
Rosie the Riveter went to work. Wanda the Welfarer does not. No daycare needed.
pos
Lets get them early so they can be brain washed to accept anything the government says or does. After all, we know what is best for you and not your parents!
