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.
The fuck? You know nothing about me except that I'm attending college.Where will you find the money to pay for this extremely expensive new program?
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...
why does everything have to be "free" ....and provided by the government?...Don't have children until YOU can afford it.
So does this mean that you now support free contraception via Obamacare?
*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?
no facts provided..just opinion, theory and doubletalk
No such thing as free, Slick. No, I'm not responsible for your dick, nor should I be.So does this mean that you now support free contraception via Obamacare?Don't have children until YOU can afford it.

The main reason childcare has become more expensive is all the liberal licensing requirements and federal regulations imposed on childcare providers.
Liberals create a problem by expanding government, then they propose to solve it with more government. That's the liberal modus operandi.
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.
Republicans aren't driving jobs over seas...democrats with their high taxes, and hostility to business owners drives them over seas.....

Truth is, YOU will happily vote for a Repub prez who has and will do it again.
Drumpf and Fiorina. If either of them are the nominee, YOU will vote for them and both have sent jobs to other countries. Drumpf to China, Fiorina to India.

Presumably, the RW's answer to hungry children who should never have been born is starvation. THAT will show those welfare queens a thing or two!

You guys always say that...you sit there with your lefty friends and giggle like little school girls when you say that...when it is actually conservatives who give more money to charity and give more of their time to charity, who actually value all life, vs. you guys who will kill the unborn and the old because it is convenient. We want the government to stop creating hungry children by creating single teenage mothers which create the socials dysfunctions that have created more and more children in crisis.......you guys have no problem making more people helpless and bad parents through government screw ups. We want children taken care of....we don't want to pay for shrimp running on treadmills, or studies to find out why overweight lesbians can't get dates........

I think that you should modify your position somewhat. Starvation is a very slow way to die. How about putting them in sacks and throwing them in the river?
