[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 2021, I had two kids in childcare. $600 per week. Now I have one. $500 per week. People will have to quit. My bet is that is the design of the thing. There are fewer childcare spots now. I would be bullish on an expanded child tax credit, but I bet it doesn’t happen, rhetoric about family values aside. [/quote] No one will quit. People were paying for this before 2020, they will pay for it again.[/quote] You don’t think some people will quit or move away over a 40% increase in childcare costs, a housing boom that has made living close to work increasingly expensive, and a general increase in life stress due to commuting? Many fed employees are like GS9 level and living outside the beltway. Ever increasing daycare bills and commuting costs may very well cause them to decide this isn’t financially worth it anymore. But you don’t really care if they get pushed out of the workforce do you?[/quote] Heyo, would have been nice if the Democrats in charge of local government hadn’t imposed zoning and other restrictions that resulted in skyrocketing housing costs and had focused on better transit and improving schools inside the beltway. NONE of that was a priority. DOGE takes blame for being hostile and ridiculous; but the practical and financial difficulties of living in this region are 100% Democrat made. [/quote]
