Idea of the Week: Increasing Affordable Child Care for the Middle and Lower Classes

27 Democratic Senators unveiled a proposal to create new federal opportunities for middle and lower class families to enroll their children in affordable and quality child care before kindergarten. This is a good government progressive idea that should be embraced and could also provide another opportunity for Democrats to compromise with the Trump Administration where daughter Ivanka has been promoting similar ideas (although in the form of tax credits that could mainly benefit the rich). There is probably a possibility that a meeting of the minds can take place and a bipartisan bill that combines a mix of tax credits with an influx of federal dollars to these centers can create opportunities for parents to provide sound child care for their children while both parents are at work.
