Republicans say the price tag — $450 billion — is way too steep and accuse the Democrats of trying to destroy a viable, privately run business in favor of a government-controlled system. Even some Democrats complain that the legislation, which is part of the $3.5 trillion package that Democrats are trying to steer through Congress, would give benefits to higher-income families who don’t need it.
Coronavirus cases have been spreading in schools across the U.S. since July, when the first students returned in person. As of Sept. 13, nearly 1,700 schools across 386 districts in 38 states had shut down in-person instruction, according to the data service Burbio, which is tracking 1,200 school districts nationwide, including the largest 200. The company found that schools move to virtual instruction more than half the time, while nearly four in 10 closures led to no instruction at all.
Investments in the industry would have cascading benefits, supporters say, by helping parents get back to work and increasing economic activity now while setting children up to stay in school longer and earn more in their jobs as adults. “It’s so critically important we get schools reopened, but it’s also critically important that we handle this child care issue,” Rep. Mikie Sherrill said. Sherrill led a successful push to amend the House version of the budget package during committee markup so the 7 percent cap on costs is applied for all families, not just those making less than 150 percent of their state’s median income, as Biden had initially proposed.
Rep. Virginia Foxx , the top Republican on the House Education and Labor Committee, which has been discussing the child care aspects of the bill, said at a hearing that lawmakers should be “focused on ensuring hard working taxpayers can find the best care for their children rather than blindly throwing money at the problem and calling it a solution.”
If we’ve learned anything in the past year, it’s this. 1. We need to FUND STUDENTS, not schools! 2. We need many more faith-based schools. 3. We need more homeschoolers. 4. We need more Classical Schools. We need 50% fewer students in traditional public schools. ASAP!
Every single example in this piece is a choice the person made. That's right. Men make the same choices. The only reason the left is concern is with less women in the work force means less tax $ and power.
Get over it. Simply provide all with $1200 a month. If your income is too high, pay it back in taxes. KISS
Maybe they should stay home & raise their children! Now there's a thought!
Inaccurate foreign news
Should gov. like DeSantis & Abbott take any of the responsibility. They are so adamant about trying to protect your freedom - but they are actually taking it away playing politics.
Kids are fine with Covid. Just stop.
