On Friday, Rep. Ro Khanna plans to introduce a bill that would cap the cost of childcare at just $10 a day

They come up with some mind- boggling stupid things, but this is at the top. I would never send my kids to a $10/ daycare. You know how many corners would have to be cut just to make that profitable for the owner? I'd be better off leaving my kids at home by themselves.

Would you bring your car to a mechanic that makes $10/hr?
Why would you entrust the care of your child to a group that pays their employees such a shite wage?

I totally agree with families being the core of rearing children.
However, sometimes that just isn’t available for many reasons.
So, while your point is a valid one, I believe my question is valid as well.
To bring down costs of child care, can we increase competition for that business industry?

Or they could just let me deduct the entire $10k+ a year from my taxes and not cap it at a little over $1k. The deduction for it is so little that most people with young kids are better off taking the standard deduction and end up getting no benefit from the deduction.

You can't provide that service at that cost - and anyone who says they can are not properly caring for your child. The only way this works is if the government subsidizes child care- which I assume that this is where they are going.
Cradle to Grave
Literally NOBODY will watch kids for 10. NOBODY.
Not in the commercial market.
It would absolutely have to be subsidized, or child care services would shutter doors.
Which may be the goal.
Only a dImocrat would suggest this.

I'm fine with diverting federal funding towards healthcare and childcare to boost our population and overall health. But only if we cut stupid spending out and it's a net even.

What daycare can keep the lights on for $10/day/kid?
What he is actually proposing is to drastically increase the number of federal employees and put the kids into government indoctrination centers. Every facet of the program would rely on federal money which would increase national debt and increase taxes on people just to start with.
Bingo!
On federal money they demand all employees undergo DEI training.

So she wants to eliminate all Day Care Centers - or the government makes up the difference?
Get the Haitians to staff the daycares and give them an extra $10 per kid above the thousands the government is already giving them. Yay team!

LOL
I've seen some asinine proposals, but this may take the cake.
Where are the billions of dollars going to come from to subsidize this?

They'll make it unaffordable for the rest of us.

In order to receive funding the day care must provide gender affirming care without parental consent from age 6 months to 18 - among other things.

Is that not possible? Great place to start for some female owned businesses since there’s tax advantages there as well.
Childcare is a huge risk.
Kids naturally get hurt and sick. It's just the nature of youth. The childcare services can be held accountable in civil court.
And then let's not get into theany horror stories of abuse, rape, and other forms of mistreatment that comes out from child care that can't properly vet their workers.
Huge risk. I wouldn't invest in it.
Great line of thinking tho.

You’re assuming that there’s a limitation on childcare providers that is driving profits of existing providers far above costs. I don’t believe that to be the case.
Labor is the largest cost to a childcare provider. Two is real estate. Three, four and five are likely insurance, food and transportation.
If there’s been a 10%+ increase in all those costs, then the net effect is a huge increase in the cost of providing daycare.
Government spending driven inflation has driven the problem. It’s not going to fix it.

But federal funding gives the government control.
Indoctrinate the kids in DEI and CRT, or we pull your funding.
Report the political leanings of the parents, or we pull funding.
Convince the boys they are girls, and the girls they are boys, or we pull funding.
Theory could be nice. But our reality right now is nightmarish.

Who’s going to make up the difference? Let me guess daddy gubment?

Every sollution offered by any Democrat is always the same, more government. But they never take blame for the many policies they have passed that has led us to where we are. Instead, they simply offer solutions that sound good on the surface to uninformed voters, but will only make matters worse.

There’s an easy way to stop this grandstanding.
Agree to the cap in principle.
The difference in costs of childcare per day and $10 would be available as a refund on taxes owed.
