Managing a daycare is pretty freaking hard, especially in this economy. Look it up, someone who is successful at managing a daycare is a very well organized disciplined and hardworking person.
Edit: but i will say i 100% agree with you, ideology is complete nonsense when voting for politicians. Cut taxes or increase spending, it's the same thing it's just an accounting trick whether you have more money at the end of the year because your taxes were lower or you got some subsidy.
What matters is that whatever policy is chosen is implemented effectively or not. The person i vote for is always going to be the person i think has more integrity (because if you are corrupt you're just gonna hurt the People no matter what) and then second is more competent. Literally nothing else matters.
I dont place particular emphasis on logistics, but a competent leader will be sure to put a trustworthy logistics expert in charge of that
