I don't know what world De Boer was living in 2001-2003, but none of what he wrote is actually true. There wasn't panic after 9/11- no one I knew feared for their lives, nor were any of them goaded into doing so by anyone. The only emotion I witnessed was white hot anger and a desire for retribution. It was that emotion that Bush, Cheney, and the rest of the neocons used to pass laws creating TSA, Homeland Security, the powers of the Patriot Act, and ridiculous invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.

Free daycare stopped being free when all the the government daycare providers masked toddlers all day.

Republicans are right to be pushing to end subsidized childcare in favor of big and universal child tax credits/allowances. They should push to do this as much as possible with education funding and ESAs as well.

Money for parents, not bureaucrats has to be the rallying cry.

If we are going to spend ourselves into oblivion, it might as well go to the people that produced the taxpayers that will have to pay for it all.
