[quote=Anonymous]Well what they're saying and what they are actually able to accomplish are not necessarily true. HRC. for example, has I believed proposed a plan that would limit the amount of money a family has to pay for childcare to 10% of the family's income or something like that. It is to get around the fact that, for example, in the DC area the average price for infant care (in a daycare, not some luxe nanny) is $24,000 a year. This could essentially bankrupt a single mom making a respectable 50k salary. They are proposing solutions to fix this problem. I think a good solution could be having the tax credit for child care be a sliding amount depending on the location's average childcare prices. IE, in DC its 24k, in Maine it is 10k so DC residents could get more of the money put towards childcare tax exempt. CAN they do any of this? Doubtful. [/quote]
