Showing Original Post only (View all)Ivanka @ RNC: Dad will "make quality child care affordable and accessible for all." OOOPS! [View all]
President Donald Trump said just last month in a speech before Congress that hed like to work toward affordable and accessible child care.
His daughter Ivanka told an audience this summer at the Republican National Convention that, if elected, Trump would focus on making quality child care affordable and accessible for all. Shes been evangelizing for a policy to help parents balance work and kids ever since, part of her campaign to market herself as a champion of #WomenWhoWork.
Yet on Thursday, the Trump administration sent Congress a proposed budget that cuts funding for public school programs that offer working parents, particularly low-income families, access to affordable child care.
As part of a $9 billion cut to the Department of Education, Trumps budget would eliminate funding for 21st Century Community Learning Centers. Created in 1994 and costing about $1.1 billion annually, the centers provide before-school, after-school and summer programs for 1.6 million low-income children, primarily those of color, across the country.

That probably was what Trump intended, but he's a puppet and signs anything put in front of him.

Except you now won't need it because your kids will be dead from no food and healthcare.

"Professional women" to Ivanka means wealthy white women who own businesses, not all women

Primarily affects 'low-income children, primarily those of color". Interesting.
