[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back in 2013 Bernie Sanders said this setup is a scam.[/quote]

Very true, exact quote:

"This program is a scam," Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said on the Senate floor this week. "It is not a cultural-exchange program. It is displacing young American workers at a time of double-digit employment among young people, and it is putting downward pressure on wages at a time when the American people are working longer hours for lower wages."[/quote]

So there are young Americans that will come live in my house and wake up with my kids at 7am and then take them to school, have a free afternoon for 6 hours, but then pick them up and take them to activities? Please, tell me where I can hire these people.

And for all the families on here who keep saying "doesn't seem like this will affect me much because I don't use many hours," it will still involve a lot more headaches of hour-keeping, payroll taxes, etc. that you may not be thinking of. And you know, you could just advocate for the program in general to help us stop the above nonsense narratives that there's an army of workers clamoring for split schedules childcare jobs.[/quote]
