I don’t know how things are going in your part of the country, but in NM, restaurants everywhere are offering children free meals to make up for the snap benefits. Why can’t we ALL look out for children ALL the time?
“Nuke the filibuster and codify all of Trump’s executive orders, pass the SAVE Act, impose taxes on remittances, abolish the Department of Education, ban everything transgender for minors, make English the official language, end H1B Visas, abolish the IRS and simplify the tax code, and fill every judicial vacancy.
Do all of that within a three month period, even if it means Vance is the tiebreaker every time.
Universal health care, paid maternity leave, child tax credits, well funded public education, etc. Other wise known as the Nordic model; low infant mortality and low child poverty rates.
Meanwhile the US ranks 33rd in under five mortality for OECD countries and 32nd in child poverty in the OECD (the top 37 economies in the world) Canada ranks 31st and 17th respectively, so yeah not much better — we need to copy the Nordic countries.
HRW, we have most of those things. We don’t have “universal health care” officially, but doctors don’t refuse to treat patients. Not every job comes with paid maternity leave–I’m not sure that’s the most pro-family model anyway–but many do. And our public school isn’t very good, but it is very expensive.
I personally would say that the more money being tossed toward keeping mothers in the workforce (which several of these suggestions do), the harder it is for families to have a stay-at-home mother; and communities of women who are home during the day, with married fathers who work from home or come home to their families, is a far better model than what we’ve pushed society toward.

This, please. Let’s end the Dem obstruction and reopen govt. Then they can deal with the healthcare issues of a failing Obamacare.
