Mike Fiers Has His Reputation On The Line For Oakland A’s This SeasonDepending on who one listens to, Fiers is either the hero or the villain of the still swirling bomb cyclone surrounding his former team, the Houston Astros, regarding their electronic sign stealing during the 2017 World Series-winning season.

How Sanders would provide free child care and early education for allSanders and his campaign say the plan offers up free, full-day child care for every child from infancy, plus pre-K to every child in the country, starting at age 3. “A government big enough to give you everything you want, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have.'

The issue is where are we going to get all the trained and qualified workers to provide these services, to to include the lack of certified facilities to provide the care. It takes a minimum of 10 years to train a doctor. Even a daycare worker will need a year of training.
