Better idea — find a way to help one wage earner be sufficient to support a family. One works. One stays home. Child is homeschooled. Huge benefit to society.
It’s actually the opposite. Take away child care incentives and it will make sense for more mothers to stay home with their children through their preschool years. Probably more homeschooling too.
Win/win/win.
Grow the economy more equitably.
NOT more abundantly, NOT more efficiently, NOT even in the positive direction!
What the heck, shrink it to zero! That’s about as equitable as you can get!
Equal poverty for all. Except for the global elite. That’s what they want.
Exactly. Spend taxpayer money to enrich the Commie teachers’ unions and PC education consultants.
Why would I want to grow the economy more equitably?
How can that actually work?
Go back to the old neighborhood concept. The government just had to “institutionalize” child care. It’s a heavy cost with no gain.

All children should have a right to be nurtured without social, financial, or racial bias.
Bias will undoubtedly occur as they get older and get out into the world and are exposed to other people, who have their own biases.
The selection of who teaches them, and where, will determine how they respond socially, spiritually, or to the economy
whether that be a parent, school teacher, or peer group.
Leftists are still using the word “invest” even though they have stripped it of any true meaning
How about teaching ambition, determination and drive?
We have been “investing” in early childhood for decades, all to the detriment of the very children those investments portend to assist. The best thing for children would be to be raised in a two-parent home with parents who have, at the minimum, a high-school education. However, we have abandoned education in basic fundamentals of reading and writing and instead promote indoctrination in Marxism.
Therefore, the parents live in separate homes with tax-payers paying their support, the children have no stability or discipline, and all remain uneducated.
‘“child care deserts,” communities where there simply is not enough child care to meet demands...’
What, aren’t 50% of the population in those communities women?
This article is an example of illegitimate newspeak, where the far left unilaterally redefines words to mean the exact opposite of what they actually mean. Equity and equality are NOT THE SAME THING. MORONS.
The article totally misses the point.
Who can you trust with your own children?
Homeschooling will pay huge dividends; but even more so to those who follow Christ in their daily lives.
“equitably”
If nothing else the Left is good at making up words to fit their agenda ... which is a totalitarian government ... with them eternally in charge of course.
If “equity” is to replace “merit” as the law of the land I demand that 70% of NBA players be white.
There must be 100 federal programs to teach tot’s before kindergarten. None of them have worked. NONE. Education is at least 20 times worse than 50 years ago.
Many of us remember all the “Head Start” debates decades ago. Here we are with the same old tired, lame argument.
If America had a working education system, Inwould gladly support having a classroom for anybody willing to self-study and improve their high school education.
I fully recognize that not everybody had the same opportunity to graduate, but for it to work we need a functional education system.
Head Start didn’t work.
