A Little Federal Diversion

As a couple with no children who already pay school taxes and whose income taxes help fund the Child Tax Benefit, the Child Care Expenses deduction, the EI parental leave program, the GST child sales tax credit and zero provincial sales taxes on children's clothing, its relevant to wonder what tangible benefit we will see from a national, taxpayer-subsidized, daycare program. We already have enough programs where the taxpayer pays and pays, supposedly to improve the lot of children, yet with few 'standards' and little/no enforcement, we often see so very little in return.
Is this yet one more chance for a bloated, federal program to run amok?!
