Money for child care

While this report is a little bit old (2003) it is encouraging to me that congress was willing to put monies into assisting at least some of the families in our nation who are in need of assistance. The money discussed in this article is used to target those who are are low income (by definition of qualifying for TANF) Although this is a step in the right direction and low income families definitely need the assistance I still think that there are many families in our nation who would benefit from a ssistance in caring for their children. Whether this assistance is monetary to help with day care or in the form of social policy to encourage employers to offer paid maternity leave ore even offer day care for the children at work. Of one thing I am sure... we are still greatly lacking.
