Soaring child care costs are an enormous problem for families with working mothers. The Democrats have proposed to resolve the issue by throwing federal money at it, which will probably only make things worse in the long run. Is there a better way?
We know for a fact that the workers in this field are not overpaid, so the solution probably involves some measure of deregulation. You would think this approach would be right up the GOP’s alley, but the party has shown no particular interest in it. Why?
Because the Republican Party believes in the Godly Society. It doesn’t want working mothers. There is no other rationale that makes sense.
And in the meantime, Trump is busy deporting the kind of people who provide care for the elderly and children, which will only exacerbate the problem.
