This week I have been reading over the proposed child care policies of the presidential canadates. I feel as though this topic is very important to those in the FCD major. SO .... If you haven't read up on NPR you should!!! First of all the Trump proposal discusses tax breaks for child care, howevèr it would only be for people who PAY taxes so that doesn't really help anyone in poverty. Also a main difference between both policys is that one, (trumps), provides maternal leave and the other provides both parents with leave. I think we can all agree that the later is much better. Not to mention, providing only material leave may discourage businesses from hiring women. Over all I think it is very important to look at every proposed presidential policy no matter how publicized. Making small informed decisions is how we make important decisions.
THIS TOPIC IS SO IMPORTANT. We need to take progressive move forward and stop penalizing our parents for being parents bringing life into the world. ALSO moms aren't the only ones with newborns. I agree that we need not only parental leave but PAID parental leave for parents of all new humans. SERIOUSLY EVERYWHERE BUT US (and New Guinea) HAS PAID LEAVE. WTF!
