Washington Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Monday called for universal government-subsidized child care as part of President Joe Biden's infrastructure proposal, describing it as a"big ticket item" that demands more resources.
"The way I see it, it's got two parts. One is, this is how you boost productivity in our economy. But the other is, this is how we live our values," the Massachusetts Democrat told CNN's Jake Tapper on"The Lead," referring to Biden's proposed spending package."We want to have an America that truly is about opportunity for everyone.
But Warren said Monday"we've got to make it universal" and"available to all of our parents." She assessed that the"full ticket" for child care and early childhood education would cost around $700 billion. "That gives us universal coverage," Warren said."It also means we can raise the wages of every child care worker and preschool teacher in America. Those are predominantly women. Predominantly women of color.
