Last year the president proposed similar measures but the package failed because it didn't help parents who care for their children at home. In other words, the president wants to fund programs that are less used and less effective.
Children raised by parents at home do better in a number of ways than kids put in day care centers.
His credit vanishes when the child turns one year old, but lasts until age 13 for families using day care. As family income rises, the tax credit decreases and disappears. We need to encourage parents who stay at home. I'm Kerby Anderson of Probe Ministries, and that's my opinion. Kerby Anderson is the president of Probe Ministries International.
