║ ...And Trump isn't? See below for an example, from his talk with the
║ Economic Club of New York last Thursday:
╚═╦═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
║ President Trump, you - you talked about how the increase in the price of
║ food, gas and rent is hurting families, but the real cost that's
║ breaking families' backs and preventing women from participating in the
║ workforce is child care. Child care is now more expensive than rent for
║ working families and is costing the economy more than $122 billion a
║ year, making it one of the most urgent economic issues that is facing
║ our country. In fact, the cost of child care is outpacing the cost of
║ inflation, with the majority of American families of young children
║ spending more than 20% of their income on child care. One thing that
║ Democrats and Republicans have in common is that both parties talk a lot
║ about what they're going to do to address the child care crisis, but
║ neither party has delivered meaningful change. If you win in November,
║ can you commit to prioritizing legislation to make child care
║ affordable? And if so, what specific piece of legislation will you
║ advance?
╚═╦════════════════════════════════════════ [question from Reshma Saujani]
║ Well, I would do that. And we're sitting down - you know, I was
║ somebody - we had - Sen. Marco Rubio and my daughter Ivanka were so
║ impactful on that issue. It's a very important issue. But I think when
║ you talk about the kind of numbers that I'm talking about, that -
║ because, look, child care is child care. It's - couldn't - you know,
║ it's something - you have to have it. In this country, you have to
║ have it. But when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of
║ numbers that I'm talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels
║ that they're not used to, but they'll get used to it very quickly -
║ and it's not going to stop them from doing business with us but
║ they'll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our
║ country. Those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we're
║ talking about, including child care. That - it's going to take care -
║ we're going to have - I - I look forward to having no deficits within
║ a fairly short period of time, coupled with the reductions that I told
║ you about on waste and fraud and all of the other things that are
║ going on in our country. Because I have to say with child care - I
║ want to stay with child care - but those numbers are small relative
║ to the kind of economic numbers that I'm talking about, including
║ growth, but growth also headed up by what the plan is that I just -
║ that I just told you about. We're going to be taking in trillions of
║ dollars. And as much as child care is talked about as being
║ expensive, it's, relatively speaking, not very expensive compared to
║ the kind of numbers we'll be taking in. We're going to make this into
║ an incredible country that can afford to take care of its people, and
║ then we'll worry about the rest of the world. Let's help other
║ people, but we're going to take care of our country first. This is
║ about America first, it's about Make America Great Again. We have to
║ do it because right now we're a failing nation. So we'll take care of
║ it. Thank you. Very good question.
