It's interesting. I received a number of items in the mail the other day talking about crime and how we can tackle crime. What we need to look at is dealing with children in their formative years so that, if we invest in child care now, we're not going to be investing in tackling crime in years to come. Every dollar invested means $2 to $4 returned in the health, education, or justice system. So instead of sending these flyers around, let's send flyers around that deal with children in their formative years, and not only in their formative years--because those are ages one to six--but until they are twelve, because you can't leave a nine-year-old at home by themselves. I have a nine-year-old. I can't get day care in my area, and being a single parent, I need to find something. So let's look at dealing with child care.
