Write to Jesson
This is just one item of many of the restrictions and requirements issued by Minnesota Department of Health and Human Services Department governed by Commissioner Lucinda Jesson that licensed child care providers must follow:
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 245A.07, Subd. 3(c)(4), license holders shall pay a fine of $200 for each occurrence of a violation of law or rule governing matters of health, safety, or supervision. The recommendation for a fine is in addition to other recommendations made by the county based on the nature, severity, and chronicity of licensing violations, and the effect of the violations on the health, safety, and rights of children being served.
The following are situations that would typically result in a fine, but are not limited to:
1. An infant sleeping in the license holder’s arms, on a blanket on the floor, in a swing, in a bouncy seat, in a car seat or any other equipment, on a couch, on a bed, on a chair. Infants may only sleep in a crib, portacrib, or mesh-sided pack-n-play.
Now is the time to have parents send letters to Commissioner Jesson and Jerry Kerber! Who doesn’t hold a sleeping baby? Why can’t we. What baby doesn’t fall asleep in a stroller or car seat?
I wish all parents attempting to find quality care for their infant, good luck in the future. When is it all going to stop?

Obama to sell GM stock
Obama Motors (formerly General Motors) announced that they are going to buy back their stock from the U.S. government.
The government purchased the stock under Obama’s TARP program and according to Obama, “Saved the Auto Industry.” This is heralded by the Obama administration as great news.
Really?
They “paid” about $70 per share for the stock. Recently, the stock was selling for about $27 per share.
Wow, that nifty transaction only cost us taxpayers $12 billion.
More change we can do without.

Add commentWhat Would Be The Cost Of Bankruptcy?
Once again Mr. Becker shows his lack of understanding of the true costs if GM had gone bankrupt.
A GM bankruptcy would have meant the loss of about a million jobs which would have caused huge costs for disability, welfare and young people unable to find work. Enormous costs to the taxpayers.
GM now has over $32 Billion in cash to invest in new products and hire more employees. So, what are the benefits to this country of a healthy GM? People with jobs, spending their income and helping our economy recover.
The GM deal was a very cheap bargain for the United States and our economy.
Thank You Mr. Obama.

You should probably look up bankruptcy and find out what actually is involved. You seem to have this notion that when a company goes bankrupt, it simply disappears off the face of the earth.
What would have happened is that GM would have simply reorganized under the rules allowed. That means they would have renegotiated their debts, cut the fat in certain areas and actually have been forced to become competitive. Relatively speaking, only a few would have lost their jobs.
But that would have put a crimp in Obama's favored status with the auto unions and we can't have that, now can we?
Obama’s TARP program.....
"On October 14, 2008, the U.S. government announced a series of initiatives to strengthen market stability, improve the strength of financial institutions, and enhance market liquidity."

October 14, 2008 would make it jr. bush's TARP program!
Yes, the jr. bush Great Recession has cost Americans an enormous amount of money....and the jr. bush Great Recession will continue to cost Americans an enormous amount of money!
That Darn Bush
While Bush gave us the temporary tax cuts to fight off the sting of a looming recession, now Obama rewards all Americans for his second term by taking them away.
That Darn Bush!!!
Jr. Bush just arranged for
Jr. Bush just arranged for the Tarp money, but Obama is the
one who decided what to do with the taxpayer money known as tarp.
So, Obama decided to bail out the auto companies and in
turn received donations to the democrats and his campaign.
So you can continue to blame Jr. Bush for the origin of Tarp, but, please be honest and include Obama in the distribution of it. Bush should not have let Obama decide what to do or he should just have let it go.
Bond holders lost 27 BILLION on the Obama bailout of government motors. No, I'm not a bond holder.
Also, less than HALF of the employees of General Motors are AMERICANS
GM did go into bankruptcy, funded by the taxpayer , auto task force run by Steve Rattner.
Taxpayers cost 50 billion, Canadian taxpayers 10 billion. = current value less than 40 billion.
The government spent money pushing the Volt and buying them .....
School of Clinton
Sadie, don't you know that Obama is a graduate of the School of Clinton where as upon completion one becomes a Knight of the Secret Society of the Court ofTeflon?
jr. bush gave us the temporary tax cuts.....
You are correct!
jr. bush and the republicon congress gave us TEMPORARY tax cuts.
The tax cut laws, as passed by the republicon congress and signed by jr. bush, were originally set to expire at the end of 2010, but were extended until the end of 2012 by congress and President Obama.
The tax cuts will expire, as the republicon congress and jr. bush intended.
If jr. bush and the republicon congress had intended these tax cuts to be permanent, perhaps THAT'S what they should have written into the law!!!
jr. bush just arranged for.....
"jr. bush just arranged for the Tarp money, but Obama is the one who decided what to do with the taxpayer money known as tarp."
That doesn't exactly square with history! Not that that has ever bothered republicons!!!
This is a 2008 newspaper article....remember, Obama became President in 2009!

So Scary,
how do you feel about YOUR tax rate going from 10% to 15%?
I'm assuming of course that someone like you is at the very bottom of the pile!!!
how do you feel about YOUR tax rate going from 10% to 15%
"how do you feel about YOUR tax rate going from 10% to 15%"
After Jan 1, when the jr. bush tax cuts expire, I expect congress to pass the Obama tax cut....Everyone gets a tax cut on their first $250,000.00....
Lifelong: Why do you put
Lifelong: Why do you put people down? Does it build you up in your mind?

That's all they have going for them....personal attacks.

If you think you are blaming Bush for granting money to
GM and Crysler then why does Pres. Obama take credit for
saving the auto companies if Bush did it?
Bush ordered 4 billion loan each to GM and Crysler.
Obama was responsible for the next 350 billion which the
Bush admin. did not make and would not make.
Obama advisers have enormous latitude to decide the long term visibility. This is from your article.
I didn't like the bailout at all, but only think that if you choose to blame Bush, then you can't say Obama saved the auto industry. Which I remember hearing again and again from Obama ....

Child care providers should be armed
When I read what this post, here, had to read, I said to myself, "I need to way in Here!!!".
If you want peace and contented babies in the child care, there needs to be concealed carry. I would never take my children to a day care center were there were not any child care providers armed with they're weaponry. Child care is a dangerous place with babies from all walks of life where there are disputes about paternity and the so-called "baby daddy" and the risk for violence and kidnapping and the lack of higene. Were there not firearms and weaponry is could quickly degrade.
As for this tax nonsense one need's only look at the piece and prosperity of the bush and cheny years with budget surplusesses and full employed. The last balanced budget was bush and it all sustains from Reagan and the trickle theory well proven by economy.

Waiting in Line...
Hum...I wonder if that lady is still waiting in line for Obama to fill her gas tank and make her mortgage payment as promised in 2008?
Why Southie??
Because I don't like Scary!! What's your reason for always putting people down and you do it all the time.
Wrong again!
"Bush ordered 4 billion loan each to GM and Crysler.
Obama was responsible for the next 350 billion which the
Bush admin. did not make and would not make"
Wrong again!
"In January 2009, the Federal government used $24.9 billion of the $700 billion bank bailout fund to rescue two of the Big 3."
"Bush unilaterally agreed to lend $17.4 billion of taxpayers’ money to General Motors and Chrysler, of which $13.4 billion was to be extended immediately."
"After taking office six weeks later, Obama put together an auto task force that extended tens of billions more in emergency financing to Detroit over the ensuing months"

The trickle theory
I don't know what "subtely" means, but I am guessing it is some libtard thing within the democrat party and they're lib agenda.
But face it we all either sell something to a rich person or work for a rich person. That is why we need to know our're place and keep the taxes lowest on the job creators. Romney got it, and wanted to keep us in our're place!
This stems from Reagan and "tricklenomics". He said the govment is like a bloated baby with an endless appetite. It feeds on the public teat but has no sense of responsibility at the other end. What then comes out is what congress gives us, which then trickles down and hence the "trickle theory".
I hope they keep that in mind when it trickles off the fiscal cliff!

I got the 4 billion each loan from your source in an earlier post. I read the entire article from the New York Times article. Of course, I could have missed something.
You can argue with them but, your source was my source
Why is all this so important to you? It is what it is and we are in a hell of a mess. Debt for future generations.
The auto bailout did not straighten out GM and Crysler.
Obama takes credit for saving GM and Crysler. Why?
I don't care as I'm sick of all of them but, so hate all the
spending of taxpayer money as if it is play money.
Disagreement
without namecalling. There is a difference. Feel free to call me out if I do it.
Bachmann Provides...
Increased taxes for all in Minnesota...
Yup, Michele got 'R done...
Dear Scribbles,
Please explain, how Bachmann all by herself was able to
increase taxes for all in MN?
Sorry if I missed some other comment that would explain.
Would that be increased taxes for all? or increased taxes
for the people that pay taxes?
Well, after all,
she and others have allowed Harry Reid and President Obama continue this charade so she does have a little fault. I hope she votes to quadruple the property taxes on rich W.B.Lake, Mn landowners that have 2nd estates in Northern Mn.
Those liberal slackers have been robbing the poor blind for years.

obsessed with Michele?
My understanding is that the tea party wants to cut spending.
They know that if they agree to the tax increase then once again no one will do anything about spending.
She must understand what the debt is doing and will do to this country.
Taxed enough already to me, means that we pay enough taxes and nowmust live within what tax money comes in.
Where do you think the money is coming from?
Maybe there is something wrong with the way our schools teach math. If you have more going out than coming in--you
are short .
More spending without more revenue=more debt
Sadie...Already Hammered at the Property Tax Level...
There are less property tax payers than you realize...
Believe me.!.
Broaden the tax base...
Already have accepted a fairer and better broad tax base...
Individual Tax Rates are going to rise...
To normal (Pre George W. Bush) levels...
