@wake_up_girl_3 What are you fucking talking about? There’s a tax credit you get for childcare. Nothing is being taken away from anyone. Just have to be a victim.
@EricLDaugh@aburk203 Ugh, I thought this pissed me off a lot before, as a SAHM, now that I’m thinking billions went to fraud…as we’re scrimping to raise our own kids..
Let me tell you, filing taxes as a SAHM and seeing that button for child care exemption made me FURIOUS. We took massive pay cut to stay at home and got nothing. Should at least get minimum child care tax credit
🚨 BREAKING: The Trump administration is reportedly drafting a plan pushed by JD Vance to give federal child care funds to married couples with a STAY-AT-HOME SPOUSE while the other parent works — NYT
The program could be $9K per year for these families
The goal: make it easier for married Americans to let one parent take care of the children, rather than both work and pay others to take care of the children
This could create an incentive for parents to "stay at home with their children"
Apparently, this is similar to a MARCO RUBIO proposal when he was Senator 👀
It sounds like this would be under current federal programs, not new laws passed by Congress
