Lack of crisis prompts Parade Magazine to invent next crisis: quality child care

With the U.S. trillions of dollars in debt and its future mandates for Social Security and other government-sponsored Ponzi schemes in the cool $100 trillion range, Parade Magazine has uncovered another crisis to fund it’s own lack of editorial initiative.

It’s like global climate crisis and the health care crisis, but has cuter pictures of pensive-faced children on tricycles and sitting tragically near an abandoned Teddy Bear (a symbol of lost childhood?).

That’s right, there’s now–cue timpani drums–a child care crisis!

And who could possibly solve this childcare crisis? (We need another drum roll.)

The U.S. government, that’s who.

Note how they add this little kicker in the article, like an IED (Improvised Editorial Device):

“In European nations, high-quality child care, especially for 3- to 6-year-olds, is seen as a right of citizenship. Governments view it as an investment in the nation’s future, and excellent facilities with top-notch care are plentiful.”

How, you may ask, can these countries afford to pay for this “top notch care?” Simple. They skimp on self-defense and rely on the evil United States military to protect their children while they’re receiving top-notch daycare.

In Obamaland, all your worries disappear because those really smart liberals know what’s best. But unlike real childhood, you not only give up your allowance, you have to work and give all your money to your newfound “parents.”

“How, you may ask, can these countries afford to pay for this “top notch care?” Simple. They skimp on self-defense and rely on the evil United States military to protect their children while they’re receiving top-notch daycare.”

You nailed it right there. All of these governments that provide all of these wonderful services do not have to pay for a military. We pay for their defense and they laugh all the way to the free day care.

Then there’s this:

“is seen as a right of citizenship.”

This is kind of the liberal mantra isnt it? We seem to have every “right” imaginable.

There’s no end to the crises we can concoct if we just put our minds to it and figure out who we want power over! Bureaucrats of the world, Unite! (–play Soviet anthem here–)
