Bernie Sanders Adds ‘Free’ Childcare To His List

It’s not enough to promise “free” college and “free” health care. We need MORE “free” stuff! Next up? Childcare!

Child care should not cost parents more than sending their kids to college. We need a revolution in child care in this country. pic.twitter.com/7guLGExSOR

I understand that childcare is expensive, but I ALSO understand that it’s not the taxpayers’ responsibility to cover it. There’s no such thing as “free” childcare. Someone pays for it.

I’d also like to point out that the cost of childcare will go up exponentially if the government gets as involved as Bernie wants it to. It’s inevitable. That’s what happens when the government gets involved. (See college tuition.)

I guess you want that to be free also

Child care should be free. You should force people to watch other people’s children for free.

"We need a revolution in child care in this country"

i.e.: we'll find a way to make child care even more expensive than it already is, just like everything else government touches.

…because nothing screams 'efficiency' and 'cost reduction' like government intervention#VRWC #GoBackToYourParentsBasement

Is "revolution" Bernie-code for forcing one group of people to work so they can pay for other peoples' kids childcare?

Pretty much.

Am I surprised by Bernie’s suggestion? Of course not. That’s always the left’s answer. More government.
