Biden’s Next “Big F***ing Deal”

How the American Families Plan will overhaul child care and revitalize the economy.

Let’s face it: America’s child care system is shit.

Scratch that.

It would be shit if it existed as a system.

But right now, it’s almost nonexistent.

If you have a kid that needs to be taken care of while you climb the corporate ladder, then you basically have two options.

1. The privately operated, for-profit “learning” centers trying to maximize cash flow.
2. The at-home, just-licensed, minimally-inspected daycare that’s in a stranger’s basement, who you’re hoping doesn’t have a criminal background.

Somewhere in there are good daycares, with trusting, well-trained employees and an owner who actually cares about the well-being of your little Johnny, but they are the rare exception.

The lack of quality child care options that we can afford isn’t just an “issue”, it’s a national embarrassment.

Right about now, you might be thinking that I’m writing this because I’ve got two young kids and I’m just pissed because I don’t get any money to help with child care.
