Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton on Wednesday made a stop in Bronzeville where she pledged to improve the availability of quality affordable child care, saying it was important in restoring the economy and the middle class.
Clinton also sought to take on the issue of income inequality — something Democratic progressives have said is needed for her campaign to be successful.
While speaking at a roundtable of a dozen child-care workers and parents, Clinton sought to make a middle-class connection. The child-care facility is represented by the politically active Service Employees International Union Healthcare Illinois, and Tom Balanoff, president of the SEIU Illinois State Council, sat in the front row of the small audience.
"We have to reduce the overcrowding, we have to increase training and most importantly, we have to increase wages," said Clinton, who was born in Chicago and raised in Park Ridge. She added that the work of child care workers should be valued, respected along with their rights to join a union and bargain for wages "that reflect the value of your work."

The BEST CHILD CARE IS A MAN WORKING AND A WOMAN TAKING CARE OF EVERYTHING ELSE!.........................
(I know it’s ‘sexist’....I don’t give a damn!)..........
Where’s the daddies?
No Hillary. Not more government breeding farms Try helping restore family life with the real parents raising their own children. Radical idea, eh!?
don’t tell anyone! It’s a secret.
I can think of 5 women I know right away that don’t need to work, but do it to make their life well rounded (as if the child wasn’t enough) or to afford even MORE stuff.
Affordable child care???
Shouldn’t the baby sitter get at least $15 per hour?
What the heck do democrats know about “restoring the middle class”? The very type of policies and ideas hillary is pushing would hurt the middle class. Not help them. Hillary is the very enemy of the middle class.
It is impossible for a human being to be more shallow than Rodham.
Exactly!
Contrary to the idea of vote-winning child care being a way to improve the economy, self-deceiving Hillary is ignoring that child care means that the economy is bad to the extent that both parents must work to make ends meet.
I also think that she’s pushing child care as a means to indoctrinate kids with vote-winning entitlement-centered "victim of society” ideas.
whew my daddy at???
Who cares about restoring the middle class in Chicago appearance?
BRONZEVILLE???
Between 1910 and 1920, a tremendous number of African American workers journeyed to Bronzeville to escape oppression in the southern United States. As one of the most significant landmarks of the “Great Migration,” this South Side neighborhood is shrouded in a glowing, African American cultural allure.
how can a neighborhood be SHROUDED.. glowing allure???
this writer doesnt even know what a SHROUD is!!
oh well..what more appropriate neighborhood for the queen of white racist to show up in...
Let’s unionize the baby sitters. Why not unionize welfare recipients, rioters and looters, food stamp recipients, Social Security recipients, Medicare recipients, pets, Martians, aborted babies, the military, illegal immigrants, convicts and last those things which haven’t gained the status of being named ?
In order of effectiveness for childcare:
Mommy care...mothers are able to provide care others, including daddies cannot.
Parent care
Family care
Social group (churches, other organizations that the above would choose)
Government care
Oddly enough that is the same order of responsibility.

...and she still has some Panther Whizz.
More it takes a village idiocy from a huge village idjit! You bet, jobs, two parents of opposite sex would do nothing to improve things. Only abdicating parenting to gubmint will improve things...................for the socialists.
Panther whizz has been a Big Seller in Bronzeville since the brewery Opened during the Johnson Administration
it IS the Preferred Drink of the Great Society
