1. La Crisis de Asequibilidad para las Familias.
Los comentarios reflejan una profunda preocupación por el aumento del costo de vida, donde el cuidado infantil, la vivienda, la atención médica y los alimentos son inasequibles para muchas familias trabajadoras. Esta presión económica es un tema central y recurrente.
- Groceries are too expensive. Child care is too expensive. Rent is too expensive. People want dignity, opportunity and affordability. Thats what said every day in this race.
- I dont know that the democratic leadership understands that there are good, decent people out there working as hard as they can, having a hard time paying their rent. Because the cost of housing health care child care is off the charts.
- Two adults working full time for 15 per hour well above minimum wage in my red state cannot afford to have a child or two in daycare. Families must have support!
- We need to repeat this over and over until even the clueless leadership of the democratic party gets it we need to address the cost of basic necessities. Housing. Food. Transportation. Child care. Jobs. Democrats dnc.
2. Propuestas de Políticas Progresistas.
Frente a la crisis de costos, surgen numerosas propuestas de políticas de corte progresista. Las soluciones más mencionadas incluyen el cuidado infantil universal, la atención médica de pagador único, el aumento del salario mínimo y la financiación de estos programas mediante impuestos a los más ricos y a las corporaciones.
- -universal child care. -single payer or single provider health care. -minimum wage indexed to local cost for food and housing. -generous snap benefits -70 subsidy of education above hs grad.
- If we raised taxes on huge fortunes and big corporations, we could generate massive funding for things working families actually needuniversal pre-k, child care, better infrastructure, clean energy more. Were not broke. Were just letting the richest people in america opt out.
- Socialism. The democrats need to say free healthcare, universal basic income, and child care. To the inflationary detractors, i know tanstaafl better than you do.
- Taxing the rich to fund government-run grocery stores, free child care, free public transportation and vastly expanded state power in the housing market sounds, um, pretty great to me.
3. Polarización Política y el Debate Ideológico.
La discusión está fuertemente polarizada. Las propuestas de apoyo familiar son defendidas por un lado como necesidades básicas y, por otro, criticadas como "socialismo" o "limosnas". Se percibe una clara división entre las plataformas demócratas, que buscan expandir las redes de seguridad social, y la oposición republicana.
- People need to have more babies!! - republicans have you considered making parenting more feasible by making housing, heath care, education, and child care more affordable? it might mean a lower tax cut for the superwealthy. Thats socialism!
- Ooh, dont let the maga republicans know about this. If you have money to guarantee free universal child care to all residents. That means that maga didnt do its job. Any loose money should be given to the billionaires for their tax breaks. Not wasted on child care. What are you thinking?
- Just a reminder. This is one of the things kamala offered to all americans. Access to child care and the cost of child care are big challenges to american women and young families. Democrats want to help. Republicans want to blame and punish.
- Welfare. Social security. Medicare. Republicans call every single safety net in america socialism. They call libraries schools socialism. Child labor laws? socialism.
4. El Impacto del Crédito Fiscal por Hijos (Child Tax Credit).
El Crédito Fiscal por Hijos ampliado durante la administración Biden es citado repetidamente como una política exitosa que redujo drásticamente la pobreza infantil. Su finalización es vista como una decisión política perjudicial, a menudo atribuida a la oposición republicana y a demócratas conservadores.
- In its 1st yr, biden-harris admin expanded the child tax credit3,600 per kid under 6, 3,00 for ages 617. It cut child poverty in half that summer. Biden wanted it permanent. Not one republican backed it, and 2 conservative dems blocked it.
- One of bidens best policies was the expanded child tax credit. Everyone loved it. Except manchin. Who thought it was what was causing inflation. So we took it away and that had no impact on inflation.
- I often think about how we slashed child poverty in 2021 and then that just stopped because joe manchin was all ehh nah.
- A gentle reminder that the gop refused to extend the child tax credit passed under biden that lifted over 50 of kids out of poverty. The gop wants poverty because it produces slaves.
