The DHW faced a $16M budget hole, requiring cuts to childcare subsidies. Some blame rising costs, but this is only part of the story. In reality, the agency expanded the program with little accountability. Lawmakers must respond with oversight. reason Young Voices #idaho

Can you imagine yourself in 10 years if instead of avoiding the things you know you should do, you actually did them every single day? That’s powerful.

I enjoyed my conversation with Dan Crenshaw to talk about problems with the #ACA and ways to improve it. We need more members of Congress like him - thoughtful and solution-oriented. youtube.com/watch?v=Axts3R… Paragon Health Institute

Despite receiving a $10.3 million increase in benefits spending, the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare is projecting to face a nearly $16 million budget deficit this year. Read more from our very own Niklas Kleinworth in his newest article in reason: #idpol #idleg

The Democrat running for state rep D1 - Mathee - lied yet again about Prop 1 on your Nov 5 ballot. She said it avoids runoff elections. But, Idaho doesn’t use runoff elections. Prop 1 WILL create election integrity issues. Vote NO on Prop 1 on November 5. #idpol #idleg

Big government types are up in arms about cuts to child care subsidies. Brian Almon does an exceptional job breaking down the narrative in his latest piece. It turns out, the Dept. of Health and Welfare overpromising benefits is the real cause of the budget deficit. #idpol

Without cuts, Idaho’s Child Care Program is expected to go nearly $16 million over budget by the end of the fiscal year. How did the department get so far over budget, and what can be done? Here's how Legislators should respond in January. #idpol #idleg #fiscalfriday

Thank you Bryan Hyde for featuring my article in reason. It is important for Idahoans to know the program was recklessly expanded, thinking about the cost to taxpayers after the fact. This is not good governance and should be stopped. #idpol

Be sure to catch this week's Fiscal Fridays. We break down the DHW's nearly $16M deficit for childcare subsidies and why it's wise to make cuts instead of asking for more funds. But it doesn't end here. The Legislature must push for accountability in 2025. #idpol #idleg

Trump must commit now to replacing Jerome Powell if he secures the Oval Office. The Federal Reserve has done more to hold back banking for bitcoin and crypto more than any other regulator on the planet. We need new leadership.

Vance does a fine job illustrating the issue with subsidizing childcare. Welfare systems like the Idaho Child Care Program are likely contributors to rising prices, not the solution. I discuss this issue too in a recent piece for reason: reason.com/2024/08/28/ida…

Idaho’s leftists proposed a plan to fix the IDHW's $16 million deficit. Was it to cut back welfare programs? Spend more responsibly? No, it's to use a one-time payment of $50 million! In this week’s episode of #FiscalFridays, we discuss why this is a bad idea #idpol #idleg

ICYMI: On this week's episode of Fiscal Fridays, we look at why leftists' plans to use one-time funds are destined to doom the Idaho Child Care Program and hurt Idaho families. #idpol #idleg
