(WOMENSENEWS)—When President Donald Trump and his team announced last September that families would receive savings on their child care expenses through a federal tax break and child care rebate many applauded. But the reality is you can’t save on what you can’t afford.
Trump’s plan isn’t a sincere or effective effort to improve our child care system, as it won’t alleviate the real child care issues for low- and middle-income families in this country or come close to meeting their child care requirements. It’s not the long-term solution working class families need.
