Nicely stated, Jamo!
People seem overwhelmed by the entire mess. It appears that liberals have thrown everything into their bills to see what floats, for example....
Sections 440 and 1904 of the House bill (Page 838), under the heading "home visitation programs for families with young children and families expecting children." The programs (provided via grants to states) would educate parents on child behavior and parenting skills.
The bill says that the government agents, "well-trained and competent staff," would "provide parents with knowledge of age-appropriate child development in cognitive, language, social, emotional, and motor domains ... modeling, consulting, and coaching on parenting practices," and "skills to interact with their child to enhance age-appropriate development."
Now, First: how can we afford to do this?; Second: why would we want to do this?
People all over America are confused - it seems as if Obama and his team just want a bill passed with tons of stuff included so that they can use it to achieve some very strange goals.
By the way, the Republicans have an alternative plan -
