How Child Care Is Becoming A Crisis In America

The resident right wing circlejerkers have taken the thread with irrelevant ad homs, falsehoods, and stupidity. They're a cancer on this site.
Hey retard. You got your answer. Don't have children until YOU can afford it. Don't have kids and expect everyone else to pay for them. You didn't like the answer but that doesn't mean the answer was non-existent. Learn to read, it will help you with your degree in burger flipping.
 
Where will you find the money to pay for this extremely expensive new program?

And once the government gets control of something, it never gives back.
:lalala:
AKA, I have no answers.
Tax credits that benefit middle and lower class families who struggle to pay for their kids, tell me how this would destroy everything.


It would help raise the children better and would lead to a stronger country....Of course, only the rich man deserves a tax break! Loserterian don't care.

At least 40% of the folks don't pay ANY federal or state income taxes. And many of them get an EITC of free tax money every year. THAT is what I call a tax break.
 
Stagnating incomes were only viable for a long as there were cheap imports to offset the lack of income.

Now that the republican offshoring is causing wages to rise in the rest of the world those imports are no longer as cheap and that means that stagnant wages here are no longer able to handle rising costs, such a childcare.

Without disposable income the middle class engine that drives the American economy will collapse. We know this because every time the Wall Street Casino crashes and causes a recession millions of hardworking Americans lose their jobs and consumers stop purchasing because they no longer have incomes.

Right now we have low unemployment which is putting pressure on corporations to raise wages slightly in order to retain/hire workers. We are overdue for another recession so that situation won't last for more than another 18 months at most IMO.

But that is being optimistic. The economic slowdown in China could cause a recession to start at any time now. I don't have a crystal ball but those are the two major economic trends to watch right now.

But the OP is right. Rising childcare costs highlight the problem of stagnating incomes for the middle class. This is going to be a major issue in next year's general election and whomever can provide a viable solution is likely to emerge as the winner IMO.

yes..of course...the "child care crisis" will certainly decide the next election...if the country can even LAST that long with this horrific child care problem occurring right under our noses.
This is an emergency! ...maybe obama can issue an executive order and get it all sorted out for you...


So you failed to comprehend that I was referring to the underlying cause which is the stagnating incomes?

Thank you for disqualifying yourself from any further meaningful participation on this topic.

Have a nice day.

no..your post was pretty good..a dash of marxist doubletalk and a pinch of hyperbole along with a generous helping of partisan agitprop....
You never know...Might even fool a few people...

You forgot to mention the flatulence. He thinks it blows the opposition away.

Libs don't care where the money comes from.....
They get an idea every ten minutes about how to spend for something or other
and off they go on to the next idea on where we should spend.....
 
This worries me, we need to expand our help given to families with children, the article shows some proposals:
How Child Care Is Becoming A Crisis In America
Child care is both an economic necessity and barrier to employment for most families:
65 percent of children under six have either both parents or a single parent in the workforce. At the same time, most working parents encounter significant barriers to finding affordable, high-quality child care.

The cost of child care is increasing squeezing middle class families and has become unaffordable for many low-income families. Child care is a major household cost and it is increasingly eating up a larger portion of the family budget. The average annual cost of full-time care in a center is over $10,000, with some areas topping $16,000. Between 2000 and 2012, a typical middle class family saw child care expenses rise by $2,300 while wages remained stagnant. The situation is even more dire for families living in poverty; among those that pay for child care, they spend over one-third of total income on child care.

Perhaps because so many families face the need for child care and the inability to pay for it, improving access to quality, affordable child care is shaping up to be a key issue in the 2016 election. Hillary Clinton has called child care a critical economic issue and proposes making “quality, affordable child care” a national priority. Bernie Sanders recently criticized the current approach to child care as inadequate and called on better training and pay for child care providers. Likewise, Martin O’Malley proposes increasing access to safe and affordable child care as a means to closing the opportunity gap for future generations. As the election grows closer, Republicans will also need to address this growing burden for families.

In addition to cost constraints, parents are also likely to encounter few options for quality care, especially in low-income neighborhoods that are largely “service deserts” when it comes to finding good child care. High-quality child care often costs significantly more and may not be available in low-income or rural areas. Child care for infants under age one is especially hard to find and expensive, as young children require more intensive caregiving and specialized equipment like cribs.

The current child care subsidy system, funded through the Child Care and Development Block Grant, or CCDBG, provides an average annual benefit of $4,900 for a child care center which is rarely adequate for families to purchase high-quality child care. However, after decades of brain research we now know that children need access to nurturing and enriching environments from birth that support healthy development and early learning.


But aborting babies isnt a crisis. Your article is hilarious.

It isn't becoming. It always has been. Many of these places are 6 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday but a heck of a lot of people work swing shifts and weekends. Secondly, places that do have child care programs-quality programs often have a 2 year waiting list which does little good. Three, you will find churches that run child care programs that are so severely understaffed that even the workers are saying.........this is a horrendous accident waiting to happen but you can't get anything done because you have groups that present it as interference with religion. Those groups still receive federal funding. So, this is sweet and might help some people out but fails to really address some of the major problems.

Republicans aren't driving jobs over seas...democrats with their high taxes, and hostility to business owners drives them over seas.....
 
Don't have children until YOU can afford it.

So does this mean that you now support free contraception via Obamacare?


why does everyone else have to be expected to pay for what you libs want....you are the laziest, greediest, most self absorbed morons I have ever seen in my life....


How about a radical new concept for you guys...pay for your own contraception...or don't have sex till you can.....you know...you can control yourself...you are not dogs who go into heat, or Vulcans who suffer with Panfar........what is it with you lefties....

why does everything have to be "free" ....and provided by the government?...


*Pro Tip*
NOTHING is "free"

Because the cost of not providing "free" contraceptives vastly outweighs the cost of giving them away.

Or to put it in simple terms, do the math!

And there is not only a considerable cost saving, there is also a reduction in abortions.

You are for reducing abortions, right?

The "progressives" encourage and defend human and drug trafficking and illegal immigration by their refusal to close and enforce the border.
It also keeps wages low here for americans, resulting in MORE gvt dependency...along with all the "refugees" AND illegals we have to support and finance...


They're actively working to destabilize and undermine the country..

He doesn't care..he's a school boy and mommy is paying his way..

HE doesn't even PAY any taxes..so naturally he's an expert on how to spend tax money.

of course there's always the possibility he's a sock for one of these hyperpartisan progressives with their cute little clown avatars...
The fuck? You know nothing about me except that I'm attending college.

Thanks for clearing that up.

It's called investing.

In this case, you are investing to avoid something.

Pretty simple.

Oh wait!

They all have the same disinformation.

Nevermind!
