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.

Loose Women’s Denise Welch in tears after realising truth about 'friend'

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/loose-womens-denise-welch-tears-36653859

@wdlindsy So a creative and loving mother in #Minnesota , #ReneeGood was murdered by a violent #ICE goon because an #incel named #NickShirley - who was raised by an #UltraMAGA mother in a #BasketOfDeplorables in #Utah and knows *nothing* about how #ChildCare programs are funded - posted suspiciously edited video of a white woman who was born in the #UnitedStates and claimed to ‘prove’ he uncovered #fraud by #Somali #immigrants. Did I get that right?

#DeplorableGene 🧬? 🤔
#Resist

O’Neill, who is also serving as acting director of the #CDC, also said in the post Tuesday that payments across the #US through the #ACF, an agency within the #HHS, will now require “justification & a receipt or photo evidence” before money is sent. They have also launched a “fraud”-reporting hotline & email address, he said.

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."

Bummed that I can't quote this, as I wanted to contribute.

Agree. 💯

And maybe there's another point here, that religious folk want these benefits to ONLY come from religion so they'll block the work to provide these to everyone. "Social policies don't work!" "Non-profits can do that!"

But do they? Are they actually effective at providing the services? Or do they function as marketing with a small side-benefit?

🗞️ New @ConversationUK article by CPC-CG and CRA members Maria Evandrou & Athina Vlachantoni:

#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.

That spending would be more than offset by dramatically increasing taxes on the wealthiest individuals & corporations, the WH said. #Biden’s #budget would increase the minimum tax on billion-dollar corporations to 21% from 15%. It would raise taxes on US multinationals’ foreign income to 21% from 10.5%, & eliminate some #TaxDeductions for executive compensation.

Our safety nets are failing, even as our legal systems are removing vital healthcare options and basic family planning. We are failing.

The Cost of Childcare Is About to Explode

Millions of families are now facing a so-called childcare cliff that’s just weeks away.

On September 30, barring the intervention of Congress, $24 billion worth of pandemic relief funding for childcare will expire.

This funding, part of President Biden’s American Rescue Plan of 2021, has been used to provide stabilization grants to childcare providers reeling first from enrollment drops and now from staffing shortages.

With the relief money drying up, programs have only bad options.

Much of the media attention and commentary by elected officials has focused on the prospect of childcare programs closing, a notion fueled by a Century Foundation report stating that 70,000 programs “will likely close … and approximately 3.2 million children could lose their child care spots.”

However, the more likely result—at least in the short term—is that the cost for parents will skyrocket.
