Obama’s plan as of 09-09 was about getting children out of bad situations and intervene to get them educated. Ok, fine but that is not needed in every family for every child - many of us are doing just fine. Don’t expect those of us that supply the structure under our family to give it up to unknown persons with unknown ideas for unknown reasons because a few children need this amount of help. One size does not fit all. To the extent that some of our nation’s children need to have structure of a “village” to support them; yes do it.
