I have friends in Germany who pay a fraction for daycare as what I pay. It would be nice if things like that could be woven into the tax codes. I'm not holding my breath though.
Because our nation lacks national paid family and sick leave policies, employees are forced to choose between losing their job and caring for a sick child or parent. That’s not right. We need to support workers.

I wouldn't hold my breath as long as this GOP-led Congress is in the majority. They are more concerned with making sure those with nannies are well taken care of. If there is a childcare tax credit, it will be offset by something else. Besides, they see it as a women's issue.

Isn’t that what the FMLA is for? Or does this situation not qualify?

Not every company offers fmla, and if they do it is up to the company to approve your request and it isn't a given. I was threatened with being fired as I stood for 7 days straight next to my child's crib in icu watching her battle complications from heart surgery

Federalism allows for a melting pot of ideas, not a centralized national government.

"Forced to choose between losing their job or caring for a sick child or parent"? Oh please, Kamala, get real. I think you're starting to believe your exaggerations. Nobody else is.
