Fox News: White House Drafts Plan to Pay Stay-at-Home Parents

EXCERPT:

JENKINS: “Meanwhile, the Trump Administration is reportedly considering a major shift in how the government supports families with a plan to pay parents who stay home with their kids through an existing childcare subsidy program. The New York Times reporting: ‘Under the draft new rule, parents who stay home with their children could benefit from the program, which typically provides about $9,000 per child each year, potentially reshaping which families get federal childcare money.’ The Times also reporting: ‘About 80 percent of the 870,000 families who currently get the childcare subsidies have single working parents, most of them mothers, according to the Health Department data.’ And this idea didn’t come out of nowhere. Vice President Vance has been making this argument for years.”
