Biden touts child-care provisions in Democratic spending bill

LA Times  

President Biden on Friday implored Congress to pass his party’s major spending bill, saying it would expand access to child care and make the U.S. more competitive in the global economy. “Millions of American parents, especially moms, can’t be part of the workforce because they can’t afford the cost of child care,” Biden said Friday in a library at the Capitol Child Development Center in Hartford, Conn. “We also have to invest in our people.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday that the length of several major programs would have to shrink in order to bring the price tag below $3.5 trillion. Proposals that would reduce the cost of child care and boost the pay of child-care workers are politically popular and among the spending bill’s least controversial provisions.
