[The Federalist] The Trump administration announced it is pausing all child-care payments to Minnesota in light of explosive revelations about Somali-saturated fraud rings siphoning billions from federal welfare programs. State officials in Ohio, where the second-largest Somali population resides in the United States, are begging for a federal fraud investigation there.

Viral videos of YouTuber Nick Shirley visiting childless "day care centers" in Minnesota expose that Democrats’ two-century practice of buying votes with welfare has now degraded below even offering a functioning cover story. To no thinking person’s surprise, the investigation reveals Democrats’ "affordable childcare" quest seeks the same as every other welfare program: kickbacks for the Democrat political machine. This is a major reason the Founders made federal welfare programs unconstitutional.
As shocking as the estimated $9 billion theft in Minnesota is, it rests upon an even deeper level of scammery. For if it is fraud to take taxpayer money for childcare while not providing it, isn't it also fraud to take taxpayer money for early childhood development that actually damages early childhood development?
The truth is, "affordable childcare" is itself a scam. The billions spent on daycare result in worse outcomes for society than if these programs never existed. Industry researchers have known and lied about this for decades. Yes, that makes them frauds, too, and their mark ‐ is there any other mark on the planet? ‐ the endlessly spigoted American taxpayers. |
