90% of a child’s brain develops before the age of five, but most American families cannot afford childcare. Childcare at this point costs on average between $10,000 and $15,000 a year. So in the richest country in the world, the average family cannot live on only one salary, allowing one parent to stay home - yet child care costs are prohibitive. This is why we need an economic Bill of Rights providing subsidized childcare. We waste billions of dollars feeding the coffers of corporate greed, and do almost nothing to help parents and small children. #Disruptthecorrupt #Marianne2024 marianne2024.com/economic-bi…

You can shift the cost from one person to another, but someone is still going to pick up the check. If you want the rich to pay for it, then say so. Are you proposing a wealth tax? I'm in favor of that, but you have to say it.

Wrong, let's "subsidize" parents so they can stay at home and raise their own children. Stop treating parents as tax revenue and then take those taxes to pay for state sponsored childcare. Stop destroying the nuclear family.

The first step is centering family in our politics (not government) and then allow the family breadwinners to keep more of the money they earn.

Bidenflation is real, but Joe Biden will say it's just a conspiracy and you're imagining things.

If the majority of women left the workforce to be stay at home mothers, there would be an abundance of jobs. Salaries would rise as a result of the competition to get these positions filled.

If someone has children and they are just getting by ... if they can't afford childcare ... how can they work and earn enough to pay the bills ... for many people ... it's a very tough life!

The richest country in the world in terms of money are those countries who are not in debt and strive to live within their means.

It's a cultural problem not a money problem. In other countries childcare is not a thing.
