“Child care is expensive in New York City, and like the political snake-oil salesman that he is, Mayor Zohran Mamdani says he has a fix: The government will provide! We have yet to see a good explanation as to why child care should be the one service that government can offer cheaper and better than the marketplace, but Mamdani is a true-believing socialist who claims that everything is better when it’s run and portioned out by politicians. Inconveniently for him, researchers say the big barrier in New York to affordable care for kids is costly overregulation.” (02/11/26)
