re: Vance's solution to the rising cost of child care...

Capping Childcare Costs: One of Harris' major proposals is to cap childcare costs for families, ensuring that no family pays more than 7% of their income on childcare. This would significantly reduce the financial burden on families, making it easier for them to afford care.
So take money from others to subsidize your and other families….

Universal Pre-K: Harris has supported universal pre-kindergarten education, which would provide free early childhood education for all 3- and 4-year-olds. This policy would help alleviate childcare costs by providing public education options for young children.
More govt regulation. Driving up the cost of private pre-k and increase taxes and/or govt debt, more subsidizing of your life by others.
quote:
Tax Credits for Childcare: Harris has supported expanding tax credits for childcare costs, including increasing the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit. This would help families offset the high costs of childcare by reducing their overall tax burden.
All for this as long as they are not “refundable credits” or if they are, don’t include income limitations.

Less trained people? If you can stand to your feet twice an hour, can do without a cigarette for 15 minutes at a time, and are breathing, you can work at a daycare. There is no “training”. These people aren’t registered nurses or anything.

“If you’re not looking to government to help address all needs you are out of touch with reality.”
That more or less what you’re getting at here OP?

How does this work in practice?
Family A makes $100k per year in total income. That means they can pay no more than $7,000 per year for child care.
Family B makes $50k per year in total income. That means they only have to pay $3,500 for the EXACT SAME CARE?
What if that family has 3 children? That amounts to $1,166 per child. Presumably there is greater expense required to take care of 3 children as opposed to just one. How is quality care going to be provided if you are asking the business to increase it's expenses without a commiserate increase in revenue?

Sounds like Trump's tariff plan
Note: I don't support either redistribution effort.

So it’s a yes. Print more money. Hand more money out. More entitlements. More spending.

He’s talking about supply and demand essentially.
The first part of the answer is reduce demand for daycare centers a bit. The second part is about increasing supply by cutting some of the red tape associated with starting a daycare.

Families eligible for the tax credits likely don't pay taxes in the first place.

we don't want a populace that is self-reliant
eckspecially don't want a government that encourages that

The govt will pay the difference.

What's wrong with this approach? At least Grandma and Grandpa have a personal stake in this.
Would your approach be like student loans forgiveness? People who did not attend college has to pay for those who did? So people who choose to not have children have to pay for those who did?

And who will pay for the overage?
Taxpayers?
My kids are grown and I help watch the grandkids when able but I don't want to pay for YOUR kids daycare.

You are supporting someone who is selling bibles with his name on them and digital trading cards. The grift can't get any lower over there.
Well, he doesn't have FTX and military industrial complex money laundering to fund his campaign and pay millions in legal costs associated with a myriad of politically motivated frivolous lawsuits filed to stifle his campaign for Presidency. He's also a good businessman. The bigger grifters are the Bidens and establishment politicians that bilk tax payers for billions to line their own pockets with the returns.

Do you support DEI hiring? If so, you're concerns here are null and void. Try again.

That comment is really relevant since I didn't respond to or discuss anything related to the Harris childcare schemes
