Kamala Harris Calls For Cap On Family Child Care Expenses
HuffPost
The Democratic presidential nominee wants to hold costs to 7% of household income, though she didn't specify which plan for that she endorses.
Vice President Kamala Harris said on Tuesday that one of her goals as president would be to make sure no family pays more than 7% of household income on child care.
“Sadly, the state of affairs in our country is that working people often have to decide to either be able to work or to be able to afford child care,” the Democratic nominee said during a live interview before a meeting in Philadelphia of members of the National Association of Black Journalists.
“My plan is that no family, no working family should have to pay more than 7% of their income on child care,” Harris added.
The vow was part of a broader comment Harris made about the burdens families face when caring for children or aging relatives ― or for both, as is often the case for members of the so-called sandwich generation.
“It is just absolutely too expensive for them to be able to work and do that,” Harris said.
