Forget Socialist Zohran Mamdani the mayoral candidate in New York, Michelle Lujan Grisham, the Democrat governor of New Mexico, has decided to one up Communist Mamdani by creating yet another welfare program for NM. This time Universal Childcare beginning November 1st. Through the power of Democrat magic, the program will deliver what parents seem unable to provide for their progeny - babysitting. But it’s free and buys Democrat votes, so who cares.
Making sure there’s plenty of money all around, the building block of Communism will dictate, er encourage, employers to pay their employees $18 an hour. Why the state couldn’t just pay parents the $18 an hour and cut out the middle man, who knows. But it’s free and buys Democrat votes, so who cares.
But, my God, the local TV stations here have drives to give school kids shoes, coats, clothing, and toys. The Public Schools feed them breakfast and lunch. They give them laptops. They give them musical instruments if they want to take band. What, really, do parents do anymore? And most importantly, how can a kid have any respect for a mom and dad who can't even fry them an egg for breakfast or take them down to Walmart to buy them a pair of cheap sneakers? Parents have become no more that disinterested bystanders who somehow know how to fill out government forms. But it’s free and buys Democrat votes, so who cares.
Parents should be embarrassed with themselves but since they've made their 90 years of Democrat-run moocherism an acceptable way of life here in the Land of Enchantment, it means nothing to them any more. But it’s free and buys Democrat votes, so who cares.
We need to change the Zia symbol on our state flag to the outstretched hand. But it’s free and buys Democrat votes, so who cares.
