@GovBobFerguson End sanctuary policies, cooperate with Federal Law Enforcement, and none of this is necessary. Enough with your performative posturing. Your Washington State Citizens should come first, clearly you think otherwise
@MayorFrey On you, bro. If u cooperated instead of actively impeding ICE, none of that would happen and 2 of your citizens would still be alive. All of this is because of YOUR policies of sanctuary and actively impeding federal agents enforcing federal law. This is YOUR FAULT
@JayInslee He broke the fucking law you chump. You and your ilk did and still do to silence any media that challenges you and your corruption and power trips. Fuck right off with your phony outrage
No one in state government can answer this precise problem/question…
The following is a scenario of a 5 month period you can easily find on state public records multiple times over:
- A daycare that is licensed for 8 slots for kids
- Assume the daycare is fully enrolled at 8 kids for 5 months (often slots are not full, making this worse, but let’s give them max benefit of the doubt)
- Assume all 8 kids are infants at the highest possible subsidy rate (~$2,300 per child per month), which is ~$18,400 per month. Let’s round up to $20,000 per month for absolutely no reason other than generosity. (Infant only daycare is an extremely unlikely scenario but technically possible)
- In a 5 month period, that’s $100,000 in max subsidies if you are very generous in your assumptions.
Now, how is it even remotely possible when that same daycare receives 4-5x the highest possible subsidy amount in that 5 month period? Sometimes receiving $400-500k in 5 months, when they should max out at $100K! This has been found MULTIPLE times over at various home based daycares in WA.
Are we to believe that a home based daycare with a max potential of less than ten subsidized children is a MILLION DOLLAR per year business?! I own a business with 6 employees and my business makes less than these daycares?? That makes literally no logical sense. Back in the day my mom ran a daycare in Spokane, and if you could make this kind of money she’d still be doing it!
Forget if the daycare actually has kids or not, forget if it’s run by a particular group of people, forget the house, forget the neighborhood… that’s all noise compared to the number one smoking gun which is that the math simply doesn’t math… not even close.
State agencies and Democrat politicians spend more time dazzling us with bullshit, threatening journalists, and making false claims about the ‘process’, and zero time explaining the problem I just described above. Something is very wrong and it’s incredible to watch these elected officials and agency heads dip, duck, dive, dodge and… dodge their way around this very obvious problem.
WA is one of the most expensive states for child care in the nation, but I think if we all knew you could gross a fat $1,000,000 per year doing it, we’d all be daycare owners.
You know who loses in all of this? The honest and good daycares who get paid absolute dirt and have 400 pages of regulations to follow thanks to Democrats. But also families lose, the tax payers lose, and the kids lose.
You work hard just to barely survive to the next paycheck while paying some of the highest taxes in state history, just to learn that money is essentially being allowed to be stolen while the state stands by, and no one in positions of power is willing to take it seriously. All of this contributing to a multi-billion dollar deficit. That is a sad indictment of where we are at politically in this state, and people have the right to be upset about it and demand answers.
The chaos and constant dumpster fires in WA State government is infuriating.
