Under the presidency of Donald Trump, America has gone from being one-fifth of the world’s economy to one-fourth — in three short years.
Economic events of today’s Trump economy will shape the perceptions of today’s newest Americans:
The economy has added 6 million jobs in the past three years. Unemployment rate dropped to 3.6 percent, the lowest level in 50 years. Economic growth rate is 2.1 percent. The ideal growth rate is between 2-3 percent. Median household income has reached $65,976 – an all-time high and up more than 8 percent in 2019 dollars under the Trump presidency Middle-class incomes, after adjusting for inflation, have surged by $5,003 since Donald Trump became president in January 2017. The poverty rate and food stamp rolls declined 15 percent. Stock prices rose: The S&P 500 index was up 29.8 percent. The number of murders dropped 6.9%. The FBI’s annual crime report, shows violent crime rate dropping 4.6 percent since President Trump took office, reversing an uptick in violent crime that occurred under the last two years of President Barack Obama.
What Cons used to call shitty growth is now celebrated. Some of us pointed out that 2-3% was good back when the black fella was President. But you girls aren’t hypocrites, of course.
The problem is that you can’t be anti-immigrant, have historically low birth rates and labor shortages, and also expect growth to continue in the sweet spot.
Obama averaged under 1% for 8 years
You want to crown his ass then crown it but he was who we said he was
Trump is at 2% and no reason for it not to keep climbing as the deregulation and tax cuts continue their work
Obama didn't do shit and sucked. Get over it
Good economic policy has nothing to do with race unless you're a racist like @HHusky
Obama took office in 2009. The lowest US growth rate thereafter was 1.6% in 2011, which is very close to forecasts of US growth in 2020. And I’ve always given you credit Race: your irrational hatred of Obama is not because he’s black. Can’t say the same about everyone here.
Obama was milquetoast when it came to private sector and heavy handed on regulation. His policies absolutely dragged the economy. He believed in tax and spend as dems do. Big G at the cost of C & I since you believe in economics supposedly. I'll give him that he didn't completely wreck things like Warren or Sanders would but his entire premise (which you share) is managed decline with the government doing the managing.
When president's parties control Congress and pass major legislation there absolutely are economic ramifications, see tax cuts vs. Obamacare. Sure, there's all kinds of mitigating factors but you like to cherry pick what you do and don't contextualize.
You don’t have to have a decline. Working people still want in and you can incentivize people to have more kids.
Don't tell me tell the dems. Also, maybe just have government get the fuck out of the way.
You’re an open borders advocate? How did the government stop millennials from reproducing?
Massive government overregulation of childcare has made it ultra expensive to have children. Childcare costs more than a mortgage even in ultra expensive locations and doesn't get much cheaper in the boonies. Axe @YellowSnow or @dnc or anyone with young kids. It's a universal problem for my generation.
It’s over regulation of childcare that’s made it expensive? I’ll look for you to make that case. When did it happen? Cuz it was more expensive than my mortgage 25 years ago too.
“The industry is highly regulated, perhaps reasonably so, given the vulnerability of the clientele—which is the second key driver of child-care costs. As Jordan Weissmann has reported in The Atlantic, states with strict labor laws tend to have the most expensive facilities. In Massachusetts, which requires one caregiver for every three infants, the average annual cost is more than $16,000. In Mississippi, which allows a one-to-five ratio, the cost is less than $5,000. Thanks to high turnover rates—a result of those low wages—companies have to constantly train new workers to meet regulatory standards. Other costs include insurance to cover damage to the property and worker injuries, as well as legal fees to deal with inevitable parent lawsuits.“
The claim was over regulation. One caregiver for every three infants sounds like common sense.
It’s over regulation. That’s the claim. That’s what it is. Sorry that makes your snatch hurt.
It should be left to the parents to decide what ratio they want. If a place offers 3:1 parents can choose that. If 5:1 is ok and more accommodating to their budge, then they can choose that. Of course, arrogant leftists like you know what’s best for everyone because it’s “common sense”. Fuck off.
But 5:1 doesn’t offend you? Shouldn’t parents be free to choose 15:1?
Yes they should be able to. When did I say they shouldn’t? Dumbass.
I’m sure child labor laws are equally offensive to our favorite little libertarian too. This is why no one takes libertarianism seriously except dumbshits.
I bet when the 100:1 baby ratio opens up cutrate baby care for 5 bucks a month someone else will open up a 1:1 ELITE baby care for 20k a month and then someone else will open up Sark baby care somewhere in the middle and then the people will decide what they want to do.

Wifey's a mostly stay at home madre (she still works 8 hours a week at her old job) so we're not super familiar with the high costs of childcare. It definitely amazes me how much people spend on it though.
In 5 years thus far of having had kids in day care in Seattle we've seen a lot of chinflation. I don't the regs have changed during this time frame. But the labor costs for the centers in terms of benefits and hourly wages have. It's a hard business to attract and keep good talent and not have too much turnover.

And if childcare wasn't so expensive your wife or others in a similar situation might opt to use more of it. That might allow them to make more money. Which obviously impacts working and middle class families the most.
It's pretty crazy out here in California. I ran the ROI and you basically have to make more than $60k+ per parent a year to justify even going to work at all. Nevermind any kind of stress or marginal utility etc. That doesn't sound like a lot but when you consider where median wages are it is. If it wasn't for all of the existing subsidies to lower income households for childcare you'd hear the Left banging the drum on this too. Per usual though their solution would be more government handouts for votes. Never a market based approach to drive down costs to the consumer(bc classic economics right?)
Hilariously, even @BearsWiin is a stay at home dad while arguing that childcare isn't over regulated. Nevermind that he and H have at best a passing familiarity with the industry, the regulations, or what a middle income family deals with, they know the answer already based on their ideology. Childcare providers are just out to squeeze a buck and have no inherent interest in the welfare of children under their care.

In our case no, she stays at home because she wants to be with the kids, not because of costs of childcare. And she makes bank so she would come out well ahead working more, even with the childcare expense.
But I agree there are many families in the situations you describe.

I don't have the "inventory" (shout out to @creepycoug since I am using this term moar) to make an informed comment on how regs affect child care costs. I think it's common sense though that an infant room shouldn't have more that 4:1 and 3:1 is preferred.
Up in our neck of the woods, they have to pay about $17 or $18 to start with full medical just to find decent help. The lead teacher in each class is probably making in the low $20s per hour.

Childcare providers are just out to squeeze a buck and have no inherent interest in the welfare of children under their care.
As our good friend, @HoustonHusky so capably demonstrated a year or so ago, @BearsWiin is a blowhard who's never short on opinions, always delivered with a dismissive Cal attitude, even when he doesn't know WTF he's talking about. So, yeah, a guy who gave his wife his balls to go out and bring home the groceries while he stays home and wipes noses and asses is probably not the guy you want to listen to on this topic. Not that I would know much about it either; I kept my balls.
Under the presidency of Donald Trump, America has gone from being one-fifth of the world’s economy to one-fourth — in three short years.
Economic events of today’s Trump economy will shape the perceptions of today’s newest Americans:
The economy has added 6 million jobs in the past three years. Unemployment rate dropped to 3.6 percent, the lowest level in 50 years. Economic growth rate is 2.1 percent. The ideal growth rate is between 2-3 percent. Median household income has reached $65,976 – an all-time high and up more than 8 percent in 2019 dollars under the Trump presidency Middle-class incomes, after adjusting for inflation, have surged by $5,003 since Donald Trump became president in January 2017. The poverty rate and food stamp rolls declined 15 percent. Stock prices rose: The S&P 500 index was up 29.8 percent. The number of murders dropped 6.9%. The FBI’s annual crime report, shows violent crime rate dropping 4.6 percent since President Trump took office, reversing an uptick in violent crime that occurred under the last two years of President Barack Obama.
What Cons used to call shitty growth is now celebrated. Some of us pointed out that 2-3% was good back when the black fella was President. But you girls aren’t hypocrites, of course.
The problem is that you can’t be anti-immigrant, have historically low birth rates and labor shortages, and also expect growth to continue in the sweet spot.
Obama averaged under 1% for 8 years
You want to crown his ass then crown it but he was who we said he was
Trump is at 2% and no reason for it not to keep climbing as the deregulation and tax cuts continue their work
Obama didn't do shit and sucked. Get over it
Good economic policy has nothing to do with race unless you're a racist like @HHusky
Obama took office in 2009. The lowest US growth rate thereafter was 1.6% in 2011, which is very close to forecasts of US growth in 2020. And I’ve always given you credit Race: your irrational hatred of Obama is not because he’s black. Can’t say the same about everyone here.
Obama was milquetoast when it came to private sector and heavy handed on regulation. His policies absolutely dragged the economy. He believed in tax and spend as dems do. Big G at the cost of C & I since you believe in economics supposedly. I'll give him that he didn't completely wreck things like Warren or Sanders would but his entire premise (which you share) is managed decline with the government doing the managing.
When president's parties control Congress and pass major legislation there absolutely are economic ramifications, see tax cuts vs. Obamacare. Sure, there's all kinds of mitigating factors but you like to cherry pick what you do and don't contextualize.
You don’t have to have a decline. Working people still want in and you can incentivize people to have more kids.
Don't tell me tell the dems. Also, maybe just have government get the fuck out of the way.
You’re an open borders advocate? How did the government stop millennials from reproducing?
Massive government overregulation of childcare has made it ultra expensive to have children. Childcare costs more than a mortgage even in ultra expensive locations and doesn't get much cheaper in the boonies. Axe @YellowSnow or @dnc or anyone with young kids. It's a universal problem for my generation.
Wifey's a mostly stay at home madre (she still works 8 hours a week at her old job) so we're not super familiar with the high costs of childcare. It definitely amazes me how much people spend on it though.
And if childcare wasn't so expensive your wife or others in a similar situation might opt to use more of it. That might allow them to make more money. Which obviously impacts working and middle class families the most.
It's pretty crazy out here in California. I ran the ROI and you basically have to make more than $60k+ per parent a year to justify even going to work at all. Nevermind any kind of stress or marginal utility etc. That doesn't sound like a lot but when you consider where median wages are it is. If it wasn't for all of the existing subsidies to lower income households for childcare you'd hear the Left banging the drum on this too. Per usual though their solution would be more government handouts for votes. Never a market based approach to drive down costs to the consumer(bc classic economics right?)

I don't have the "inventory" (shout out to @creepycoug since I am using this term moar) to make an informed comment on how regs affect child care costs. I think it's common sense though that an infant room shouldn't have more that 4:1 and 3:1 is preferred.
Up in our neck of the woods, they have to pay about $17 or $18 to start with full medical just to find decent help. The lead teacher in each class is probably making in the low $20s per hour.
Sure, but how do you feel about breaks and coverage? Should there be a 3.1 no matter what or is the 15 minute mandatory break the teacher takes ok to go to 4.1? What about centers with mixed ages or under 10 kids?
More to the point, do we need licensing, inspection, and the arbitrary enforcement of nepotistic bureaucrats to figure these things out? Or can you as a consumer make that determination and choice?
The rules are labyrinthine and longer than the driving code. It's why my wife makes a nice additional gig living informing the courts on what exactly are the rules. Even the regulators have trouble keeping up and while one inspector might view certain regs one way another may view them very differently.
This doesn't even get into where federal, state, and local regs are misaligned or even disagree leaving private sector to decide which goverment entity they are the least risk adverse to disregard.
To short the strawman H is already attempting, no one(except maybe Damoan) is calling for no regulation at all. It's simply that the industry is generally over regulated because of the Left crying "but who will think of the children!" And not understanding the basic relationship between regulation, state intervention, and costs.

Even more common sense that it should be a parent with the kids all day. The consumer of daycare should be able to decide what is best for their family and their particular circumstance. But of course the arrogant elitists know what's best for everyone and their situation.

The FBI’s annual crime report, shows violent crime rate dropping 4.6 percent since President Trump took office, reversing an uptick in violent crime that occurred under the last two years of President Barack Obama.
What Cons used to call shitty growth is now celebrated. Some of us pointed out that 2-3% was good back when the black fella was President. But you girls aren’t hypocrites, of course.
The problem is that you can’t be anti-immigrant, have historically low birth rates and labor shortages, and also expect growth to continue in the sweet spot.
Obama averaged under 1% for 8 years
You want to crown his ass then crown it but he was who we said he was
Trump is at 2% and no reason for it not to keep climbing as the deregulation and tax cuts continue their work
Obama didn't do shit and sucked. Get over it
Good economic policy has nothing to do with race unless you're a racist like @HHusky
Obama took office in 2009. The lowest US growth rate thereafter was 1.6% in 2011, which is very close to forecasts of US growth in 2020. And I’ve always given you credit Race: your irrational hatred of Obama is not because he’s black. Can’t say the same about everyone here.
Obama was milquetoast when it came to private sector and heavy handed on regulation. His policies absolutely dragged the economy. He believed in tax and spend as dems do. Big G at the cost of C & I since you believe in economics supposedly. I'll give him that he didn't completely wreck things like Warren or Sanders would but his entire premise (which you share) is managed decline with the government doing the managing.
When president's parties control Congress and pass major legislation there absolutely are economic ramifications, see tax cuts vs. Obamacare. Sure, there's all kinds of mitigating factors but you like to cherry pick what you do and don't contextualize.
You don’t have to have a decline. Working people still want in and you can incentivize people to have more kids.
Don't tell me tell the dems. Also, maybe just have government get the fuck out of the way.
You’re an open borders advocate? How did the government stop millennials from reproducing?
Massive government overregulation of childcare has made it ultra expensive to have children. Childcare costs more than a mortgage even in ultra expensive locations and doesn't get much cheaper in the boonies. Axe @YellowSnow or @dnc or anyone with young kids. It's a universal problem for my generation.
Wifey's a mostly stay at home madre (she still works 8 hours a week at her old job) so we're not super familiar with the high costs of childcare. It definitely amazes me how much people spend on it though.
And if childcare wasn't so expensive your wife or others in a similar situation might opt to use more of it. That might allow them to make more money. Which obviously impacts working and middle class families the most.
It's pretty crazy out here in California. I ran the ROI and you basically have to make more than $60k+ per parent a year to justify even going to work at all. Nevermind any kind of stress or marginal utility etc. That doesn't sound like a lot but when you consider where median wages are it is. If it wasn't for all of the existing subsidies to lower income households for childcare you'd hear the Left banging the drum on this too. Per usual though their solution would be more government handouts for votes. Never a market based approach to drive down costs to the consumer(bc classic economics right?)
Hilariously, even @BearsWiin is a stay at home dad while arguing that childcare isn't over regulated. Nevermind that he and H have at best a passing familiarity with the industry, the regulations, or what a middle income family deals with, they know the answer already based on their ideology. Childcare providers are just out to squeeze a buck and have no inherent interest in the welfare of children under their care.
I don't have the "inventory" (shout out to @creepycoug since I am using this term moar) to make an informed comment on how regs affect child care costs. I think it's common sense though that an infant room shouldn't have more that 4:1 and 3:1 is preferred.
Up in our neck of the woods, they have to pay about $17 or $18 to start with full medical just to find decent help. The lead teacher in each class is probably making in the low $20s per hour.
Sure, but how do you feel about breaks and coverage? Should there be a 3.1 no matter what or is the 15 minute mandatory break the teacher takes ok to go to 4.1? What about centers with mixed ages or under 10 kids?
More to the point, do we need licensing, inspection, and the arbitrary enforcement of nepotistic bureaucrats to figure these things out? Or can you as a consumer make that determination and choice?
The rules are labyrinthine and longer than the driving code. It's why my wife makes a nice additional gig living informing the courts on what exactly are the rules. Even the regulators have trouble keeping up and while one inspector might view certain regs one way another may view them very differently.
This doesn't even get into where federal, state, and local regs are misaligned or even disagree leaving private sector to decide which goverment entity they are the least risk adverse to disregard.
To short the strawman H is already attempting, no one(except maybe Damoan) is calling for no regulation at all. It's simply that the industry is generally over regulated because of the Left crying "but who will think of the children!" And not understanding the basic relationship between regulation, state intervention, and costs.
Did I call for no regulation? Where is that quote?
Under the presidency of Donald Trump, America has gone from being one-fifth of the world’s economy to one-fourth — in three short years.
Economic events of today’s Trump economy will shape the perceptions of today’s newest Americans:
The economy has added 6 million jobs in the past three years. Unemployment rate dropped to 3.6 percent, the lowest level in 50 years. Economic growth rate is 2.1 percent. The ideal growth rate is between 2-3 percent. Median household income has reached $65,976 – an all-time high and up more than 8 percent in 2019 dollars under the Trump presidency Middle-class incomes, after adjusting for inflation, have surged by $5,003 since Donald Trump became president in January 2017. The poverty rate and food stamp rolls declined 15 percent. Stock prices rose: The S&P 500 index was up 29.8 percent. The number of murders dropped 6.9%.

I only said *maybe out of respekt to your classical liberal leanings and not assuming where your position is on the matter.
My wife has worked in the industry for almost 20 years and has run major centers all over the country. Her licensing and regulatory requirements are extreme to say the least. So much so that she is regularly contracted as an expert witness on major litigation (which there's also a ton of).
You'd think with your education in economics you'd be familiar with the fact that regulatory burden increases barriers to entry and thus increases costs to the consumer. That's like micro 102 after all.
Then there's all of the rising costs because of government subsidies and inflated administration that goes along with that. Kind of like the medical industry, college education, housing, and all of the other things the Government "makes affordable".
I could bother to cite plenty of evidence but let's be honest H your ideology won't allow you to change your mind so why bother?
Nobody says there isn’t a regulatory burden. You girls haven’t said what regulations you want to eliminate.
They hate the regulations that keep them from being able to screw others for the sake of a buck. They love the regulations that keep others from being able to screw them for the sake of a buck.
Yeah, how dare I want childcare that's affordable to more parents because they don't have to follow Michelle's nutrition guidelines for licensing. I'm sure the daycares would start feeding them motor oil. Jfc you ladies are so clueless and pearl clutching.

This looks damn delicious and nutritious!
Fucking ridiculous communist buffoons.
Looks relatively low carb, but too much sugar in the ketchup and apple.

Pretty sure Mik Dabone's poont was that the school lunch program doesn't differentiate between good sugars and bad.

But I agree there are many families in the situations you describe.

Cool that you understnad my situation so well

Not that I'm obsessed with him or anything.
Carry on.
