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…

We can't afford to pay for everyone's child care. We're already facing rampant inflation because the govt is running 2 trillion deficits annually.

Wonder how these millions of children living on the streets, and in the homes of "stressed out" caretakers, will eventually blossom into moral adult citizens? Is there no validity to the "attachment theory" of development, and the "Romanian orphanage study"? DISRUPT for KIDS!

Or you know... Could could just cut the middle man and do a national UBI that changes amount depending on your age. Have a bank account auto made when you turn 12, child UBI goes into it, and nobody can touch it. Not even parents. Changes to full UBI when you turn 18.

And the best thing for their development is putting them in a room with a revolving roster of random adults that give them 1/5 of their attention at best? How about programs that help parents and grandparents bring up their own children. look up the quebec daycare study.

The German system of paid parental leave is the one I'd copy.

Why should taxpayers, some of whom don't have kids or their kids are grown, pay for other people's childcare? Where's their "Economic Bill of Rights"?

Where are you on the 2nd amendment

When the government is absolutely corrupt and unfair advantages and loop-holes and shady deals are used to systematically create a broken playing field, and everyone has to compete against a world-market of course people won't have money. Government handouts don't fix this.
