#childcare — Public Fediverse posts

Some have also raised concerns about whether it could increase the risk of fraud, since the money would be going to individuals rather than businesses. The admin has sought to crack down on #fraud in #SocialServices programs, particularly #childcare.

The idea of paying #parents to stay home was outlined in #Project2025, the #conservative blueprint published by the #HeritageFoundation ahead of #Trump’s return to office, much of which overlaps with the admin’s #policy agenda.

#law #FarRight

About 80% of the 870,000 #families who currently get the #childcare #subsidies have #single #WorkingParents, most of them #SingleMothers, acc/to Health Department data.

The policy change would effectively create a government incentive for #married #parents to stay home with their #children, an idea embraced as part of a broader #conservative effort to advance policies that promote more mothers staying at home.

The change would create the only federal subsidy to pay #parents to stay home & raise their children, one of the most significant efforts to date by the #Trump admin to harness federal funds to promote a #traditional view of #families.

To do so, officials are seeking to use a #HHS fund that was created in the 1990s to help #LowIncome & #WorkingClass parents afford #childcare so they could work or go to school.

The proposed benefit, a top policy priority for #JDVance, would apply only to #married couples & tap a fund intended to provide federal #childcare subsidies to #WorkingParents.

This new book explains why your elderly parents’ retirement home, the nursery where you drop your children, or the company that pipes water into your kitchen is taken over by an increasingly intricate and deregulated industry.

If a private equity fund is "buying something using a lot a debt, [then] all of that debt is loaded onto the company that the private equity fund has acquired."
"Private equity has moved into care homes, housing, water, nurseries and other essential services."
"We have the power for it to be done otherwise."

Trump openly dismisses healthcare and childcare as scams, revealing a GOP agenda that prioritizes war over people and shifts the burden to struggling states.

Well, here's a good use of #AI. Now, let's make it so!!! This is the #GiantLeap we all need to survive!

I Asked #ChatGPT What Would Happen If #Billionaires Paid Taxes at the Same Rate as the #WorkingClass

Story by Laura Beck
10/23/2025

Excerpts:

What That Money Could Actually Buy

"To put these numbers in perspective, ChatGPT explained what this kind of revenue could fund. Even the conservative estimate of $500 billion per year could pay for transformative programs.

"That amount could cover free public #college tuition, universal pre-K programs, massive #infrastructure investments and a huge #healthcare expansion. It could fund comprehensive #ChildCare support and #FoodAssistance programs.

"The AI emphasized that we’re talking about enough money to fundamentally change how the government operates and what services it can provide."

The Global Ripple Effects

"ChatGPT pointed out that if major economies like the United States started taxing billionaires at working-class rates, it could encourage similar moves worldwide.

"This might lead to reduced global tax avoidance, more coordinated international tax policies and pressure on tax havens to reform their systems.

"The AI said this could create a positive cycle where it becomes harder for the ultra-wealthy to avoid paying their fair share anywhere in the world."

#Grandparental #childcare is an important part of the #caring ecosystem for many #families in the UK. Closer attention to #grandparent #care and how it is experienced differently in different #ethnic communities can offer a more nuanced understanding of #healthyageing, #family bonds and #labourmarket participation.

Education and child advocacy leaders are warning that a proposal to eliminate federal funding for Head Start could devastate Texas families, erasing decades of progress in early childhood education and worsening an ongoing child care crisis.

These people want you to have as many kids as possible while trying to make it so that you can never #retire, afford #childCare, take leave from work, or so much as take a #sickDay. And this is what they want to impose on the whole of society.
