State GOP lawmakers are mad that Gov. Gretchen Whitmer wants workers to get paid leave to care for newborn infants and to recover from or get treated for illnesses.

If the rule is implemented, the White House estimates that 80,000 families could see a reduction in child care costs.

Americans across the political spectrum support expanding child care, polling shows.

The spending package included the largest allocation of tax dollars for child care in U.S. history.

‘There’s a lot of nonsense being taught in the schools. And you want to add pre-K to it?’ Republican gubernatorial nominee Heidi Ganahl said.

Pennsylvania has been allocated $655 million under the American Rescue Plan to assist child care providers.

The Wisconsin senator called his idea an ‘elegant solution’ to the child care crisis and ‘a win-win-win situation across the board.’

The Republican senator got an earful from angry voters at a town hall on Tuesday night.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said Tuesday that he ‘never really felt’ affordable child care ‘was society’s responsibility.’

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) told Fox that Democrats ‘don’t want grandmamas helping educate young mamas on how to rear babies.’

Every House Republican voted against President Joe Biden’s sweeping social safety net plan.

They also support many of the policies that Democratic lawmakers are hoping to add to the bill.

The White House estimates the $1.75 trillion jobs framework would reduce the deficit.

AFSCME Local 2592 President Georgiann Hunsicker said her members now need Congress to pass child care funding.

Early childhood advocates say the new rules will lead to increased pay for child care workers and improvements in worker-to-child ratios.

The outreach is part of the continued implementation of President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion relief package to help the U.S. economy heal from the pandemic.

President Joe Biden has proposed $225 billion to assist families with child care costs. Not everyone is happy about that.

The president will lay out his $1.8 trillion proposal, which includes universal preschool, two years of free community college, and monthly $250 payments for parents.

The GOP alternative omits funding for the human infrastructure needed to provide care for children and older Americans.

A new report says, ‘The benefits of the proposal far outweigh any reduction in employment.’

‘The pandemic made a bad situation worse, with women and people of color paying the price.’

But it would mean taking money meant for low-income Americans.

The Biden campaign’s proposals attempt to illustrate for voters how the coronavirus can present opportunities for job growth and new policy priorities.
