We’ve not only failed to make progress as a country, we’ve actually gone backwards’

Parents are dealing with higher childcare costs on top of more expensive groceries and gas.​

As they prepare to return to the office, parents are struggling with one more rising cost on top of groceries and gas: childcare.

The average price to send one child to a childcare center in 2021 rose 5% to $226 per week, up from $215 in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic, according to an annual survey by Care.com, an online platform for finding family care.

Meanwhile, it cost $694 per week for a nanny in 2021, up 23% from $565 per week in 2019, while average national weekly babysitter rates were $261 last year, up 7% from pre-pandemic, the survey, released Wednesday, found.
“When it comes to childcare, there are three critical criteria — cost, quality and availability — and based on our research findings, we’ve not only failed to make progress as a country, we’ve actually gone backwards,” said Natalie Mayslich, president of the consumer side of Care.com.
Some places are more expensive than others. Washington D.C. is the most expensive area for childcare or a nanny — on average, it costs $419 per week for care at a childcare center, and $855 for a nanny — that’s 85% and 23% respectively above the national average.
Washington state and Massachusetts are among the most expensive states for childcare. It costs at least $300 per week for a childcare center for one child, and $830 per week for a nanny for one child in those two states.

We just need more government money to pay for it all, which will create more inflation and higher costs.

Sound good?

Democrats

First they push abortion on the country

Then they take away baby formula.

Now they are making the country unlivable, with massive debt and inflation that will suck the lives out of children that survive the other methods democrats have created to kill them all off.

If nothing else, those children will either think they are a victim based on their skin color or a victimizer, which adds to the overall quality of their life. Hell, by the time democrats are done with them they won't know if they are a boy or a girl.

We may be going backwards socially and economically, but at least your never-trumpers no longer have to look at impolite tweets coming from the WH.

Peeps are wired so tight these days (and for good reason) it just makes you wonder when there will be a nationwide snap.
