So the Big Question is?

When speaking about a subject like such, my opinion sways both ways. 
Should government provide childcare to working parents? I think yes!
Too often do I see parents, young and old, working their behinds off for a minimum wage paycheck.
That paycheck is then almost cut in half due to their child's day care fees. I think hardworking parents should receive some kind of assistance when it comes to ensuring their children are okay. When people are attending work, to pay their bills, I believe they should be given the assurance that their children are taken care of. Unfortunately, there days children are often left unattended at home while their parents are working. This is because of how expensive daycare/preschool has become. I believe that is the government can supply welfare and other assistance to those that need it, they should also be able to supply childcare as well. These days, having a job is mandatory though even when you do, you are probably still struggling in our economy. I think we would have more people working than living off of government assistance. if they had help caring for their children while they worked. If people are spending nearly their whole paycheck on daycare, then what would be the point in working in the first place? That is basically paying for somebody to watch your children, when you might as well just do it yourself for how expensive it has become. I think the daycare/preschool fees should run off of the parents income. If a person make a lot of money, meaning they could afford it, then they should get little assistance. A person who doesn't make as much money, who can't really afford it, should receive more assistance. I think if the government provided childcare to working parents, it would be very beneficial to many people.
