Ron Johnson solution to the childcare crisis.

RON JOHNSON

U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson has called for mothers receiving public assistance to help other mothers by staffing the child care centers taking care of their children.

And he said so — for the second time since 2016 — despite Wisconsin law prohibiting state subsidy payments from going to a certified child care provider where an employee’s child receives care.

“When you have mothers on different kinds of public assistance, to me, an elegant solution would be, why don’t we have them help staff child care for other mothers?” he said Tuesday during a telephone town hall.

Since 2016 we have elected a Democratic Governor, Lt. Governor, SOS, Treasurer, and Attorney General. Additionally, we re-elected Tammy Baldwin and have cut the Supreme Court advantage from 5-2 to 4-3. We elected one of the justices during the height of COVID in April of 2020 when the SCOTUS ruled the night before election that we had to appear in person and there could be not delay. I personally, delivered my ballot on election day to a National Guardsmen. So, yes we are trying to do better.

Great work. This guy is such an embarrassment to the good people of Wisconsin. I have a feeling most of you feel that way too.
