Why child care is so expensive

You non-parents are all alike.:palm:

lol

Do you wanna have ppl spay & neutered like your pets??

Perhaps just tie the reproductive apparatus till they reach a certain income level??

I'm sure some could find that in the constitution or federalist papers??

Do you think I've had more then one opportunity to have kids - even though I wasn't married?
I purposely did not for various reasons -money being a main factor,but having personal freedom another..

anyways....get some birth control -quit breeding like rats if you are not willing to sacrifice your money and time to have kids.
It'snotlike we have a shortage of humans on the planet -they will not be missed if not born.
 
You are making the assumption all regulations are good ones and have their intended effect and that's not the case. Childcare cost is a campaign issue and over regulation is not talked about as a cause of it. No one wants to put their kid in an unsafe environment but gov't requirements limit choices parents have and it's the poorer people that get hit hardest by the cost.

No I do not assume all regulations are good or will solve all problems, and there is a system in place to remove the ones that do not work. And you seem to not understand there are public hearings prior to passing any regulation. And that is where all the arguments are heard.
 
Only the Republicans and Libertarians seem to care about excessive/intrusive regs.

It's a hidden cost to everything , and IMHO is a main reason for outsourcing jobs.

There are thousands if not millions of hidden costs in this country & every other one........:dunno:

The bad part is they are rarely, if ever discussed..............

I've asked you once which particular regulations you feel should be done away with.

Still waiting on that answer.

This is a discussion board not a rule making body. Should we not have discussions of political issues on a political discussion forum?

We are so lets get back to discussing your beef is bogus. And regulations are not just made willy nilly by a bunch of knee jerk reactionaries.

understood. but they (regs) are multiplying like rats. The federal gov't is rapidly expanding with no "checks and balances".
They are forcing the states to also increase reg. There are costs for all this.

Off the top of my head I'd say the certification process (having to be certified) and the required ratios of workers and kids contribute to the rising costs.

Cos............. The sky isn't falling, you really need to stop listening to that right-wing radio, it will rot your brain & make hair grow on your palms...lol

Listen to your classic rock, oldies, old school R & B, some blues-that right-wing radio shit will only make you depressed.......

If think excessive regulations aren't the reason the cost of child care is rising (and on a seperate issue why our economy is having the challenges it is and why new business starts are down) then that's on you.

How about you share why child care costs are rising like they are if don't feel gov't regulation is the cause

Umm... because prices go up? You seem to want lecture all of earlier on not understanding how the market works. Okay - what happens to cost (price) when demand is higher than supply? They go up. The solution is not deregulation, the solution is the market has not have reached equilibrium.

Do you have any numbers backing that assertion?
 
Long but excellent article on why governement regulations make child care so expensive and Hillary's claim that she will subsidize child care cost completely misses the mark.

I hear you can get excellent day care prices, no regulations, and foundational instruction on free market fundamentalism at the Ayn Rand Day Care Center.
 
Do you have any numbers showing this assertion is wrong? You are the one claiming the superior knowledge of the market.

It doesn't take a PhD in economics to understand that adding additional layers of regulation causes prices to increase and that's what we have here. If you're ok with that then that's your decision but to not acknowledge that they do increase the cost is to deny economic reality

the country is being regged to death. Look at it from a purely federalist p.o.v -where are the limitations on the fed'l gov't?
There aren't any!!
It just gets more and more intrusive, and it's purviews are like a kudzu vine -strangling any semblance of
co-sovereignty.

Obama sets record for new rules in 2015
President Obama’s team, carrying out his orders to work around Congress, pushed his expansive government agenda on environmental, labor and Wall Street policy.

With one day to go, the administration added 81,611 pages to the Federal Register, according to the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s count of the official record-keeping digest of federal agencies’ rule-making. It’s the highest total on record and the third time Mr. Obama has crossed the 80,000-page level during his presidency, the institute’s Clyde Wayne Crews calculated.
he Senate in November passed a measure to overturn the Waters of the U.S. rule, which extends the regulatory power of the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers to millions of acres of land where the government says runoff could affect major waterways.

The House has yet to take up that measure, but the courts stepped in, with a federal appeals court blocking the policy nationwide in an August ruling.

The majority in the 2-1 ruling by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the government never bothered to propose the distance from a major water source land would need to be to escape federal monitoring.

That was one of several big losses for the administration’s regulatory agenda this year. The biggest, however, was on immigration, where Mr. Obama’s deportation amnesty, announced through “guidance” memos issued by Homeland Security in November 2014, was struck down just two days before it was to go into effect in February.

The judge in that case said Mr. Obama broke the law by short-circuiting the usual public notice-and-comment requirements required when the administration changes major policies.

A federal appeals court agreed and went even further, saying that granting work permits and future stays of deportation to millions of illegal immigrants also violates the Immigration and Nationality Act itself.

Mr. Crews said the immigration actions are part of a trend in which the executive branch is increasingly using guidance and memos — or what he calls “regulatory dark matter” — to avoid even the low requirements of notice and comment for policy changes.

The Government Accountability Office, which is Congress‘ chief watchdog, said in a 2012 report that when it came to major rules — those with far-reaching economic impact — the government short-circuited the process nearly 70 percent of the time.
