Biden will formally unveil the caregiving proposal Tuesday afternoon in New Castle, Del. But his campaign advisors previewed several components Monday.In addition to creating free universal preschool, Biden would offer low- and middle-income families up to $8,000 in tax credits to help pay for child care and would have the federal government partially subsidize the cost of child care for some low-income and middle-class families. He would create a new tax credit to nudge businesses to build day-care centers on site, and would expand access to supervision programs during non-school hours.
Biden’s plan would also increase pay and benefits for early-childhood instructors to make them commensurate with those of elementary school teachers, and it would encourage collective bargaining and unionization.
Biden’s plan would add 150,000 community healthcare workers in the nation’s neediest communities and create a Public Health Jobs Corps of another 100,000. Some 35,000 workers would be trained to target the opioid crisis and drug abuse.
Anything about the feds taking over local zoning and mandating building “affordable” aka high rise projects in the suburbs and rural areas?
