It's so out of touch it's not even funny. I'm in school, and hour household income is about 40k until I graduate, and thats assuming I can even get a job in this market.

We can barely afford rent, we can't afford food.

I could take a job making $100 even a day as soon as I graduate, 5 days a week. The cheapest childcare I've found is $500/wk, and that's just for before/after school.

Most other nations at this point provide childcare as a service, as an investment in the future.

I was asking if their goal is to give free to everyone, or raise the limits on the existing offerings.
