Unless the free market is involved and real accountability for failures, nothing will change. More government money equals more problems.

Probably, not. However it should improve it. That's better than ignoring the problem. It can be addressed again next year, if people stay involved.

As with all child care programs, parents struggle to find programs that have hours that are worthwhile. 8am to 1pm is hardly worth the hassle for most parents. If a parent qualifies they are probably already on government assistance.
