She didn’t say there was a shortage. Go back and listen to it again. She was making the case of how the typical current system is economically stacked against mothers, both wed and especially unwed. How the family structure is championed in Trump’s companies. It was just a small part of a much broader point.
You could be right about the “Trump corporate family support structure”, but I am wary of promoting more idiocy like CA’s CFRA and the federal FMLA...scheduling/cost nightmare for businesses.
A young teacher I know had a baby last year and even as a professional was unable to utilize a daycare center across the street from where she works. The reason being that is costs $400 a week for an infant. The average family can hardly afford that.
The government involvement in childcare should be to get out of the way of small businesses and let all businesses including daycare prosper enough to offer services at prices Americans can afford. Government led daycare would be like the same lousy service we get from ALL government offices.
