[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain to me what politicians (both D & R) mean when they say talk about affordable childcare?  Are they talking about subsidizing, or regulating prices?  I feel like it's a bait issue that is tossed around but with no real way to accomplish or solve.  Please be nice- it's an honest question.

It means that those of us who didn't have children until we could afford them will end up paying for irresponsible people having unprotected sex.  If you cannot afford child care, you cannot afford to have a child.[/quote]

Except having a child  today is unaffordable for many single parents and many two parent working families. I have nothing against 50 year olds having designer babies, but 24 year olds who are responsible and hardworking should be able to as well, without paying their entire income to quality childcare. There are parallels here to rising college tuition. 
--a Republican for whom the best part of the convention was Ivanka Trump speaking to this
--a Republican who scrabbled for childcare when I was 24; looking out for the next gen. Yes, Republicans have hearts[/quote]

and then people bitch at those who wait until they are late 30s/early 40s and need ART

We can't have it both ways, society.[/quote]
