#Pandemic #ChildCare #Closure

There's free childcare in the US? Not from what I know. And how do two parents working FT qualify if it's a low income thing?
Oh No ,parents taking care of their OWN kids.
Oh, you mean another shady government program is going away? So sad!
so they are stopping the money for kids in child care, for the Flue that was a farce, and now every one is horified, even though it was over two years ago? omg
Welfare bums
Ridiculous. Pay for your own kids.
I can't afford kids. That's why I haven't had any. Largely because I have over $100,000 in student loans. Why should my tax dollars pay for your decision to have a kid, when you won't help me pay my student loans? I'm paying my student loans, you pay for your kids. That's on you, not me.
