The U.S. ranks third to last among OECD countries on public spending on family benefits. That we lack anything resembling a 21st century family policy is not an oversight. It is not because American society refuses to come to grips with the reality of working mothers. Rather, it is the result of a political hijacking so fabulously successful it wiped away virtually any trace of its own handiwork.
And here we are today, with no national solution to the absurd and at times, tragic, lack of safe, affordable, quality child care. @vickiebarker thanks for sharing ♥
