She is not a low wage earner.
Then, why can’t she save for emergencies?


Child care costs.

Why does that matter? This is about free child care. She has a child.

It's possible that DC had the highest childcare cost then, but also back then DC was providing Pre K-3. Still does. Most of the rest of America still doesn't even provide Pre K-4. So at least we have been getting a break there.

How much does she earn and what are her costs?

Ten years ago our concern was paying for medical school.

Those were campaign promises but he has to have a way to pay for it. Increased taxes have to go through the governor and she is saying she will not raise them.

Our daughter is a single mother living in NYC. She does well, but childcare is prohibitively expensive, which limits her from saving effectively for emergencies and retirement. How long will it be before she can climb out from under the crushing burden of childcare?
