President Donald Trump picks up a baby as he greets people after arriving on Air Force One at General Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee, April 2017.
The Trump administration announced that they are now considering changes to the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit, which gives parents a small tax benefit on their previous year’s child care bill.

Instead of giving huge tax cuts to corporations, the focus should be on working families.
