I ask you to extend that law to cover 10 million more workers and to give parents time off when they have to go see their children s teachers or take them to the doctor. Last year I co-hosted the very first White House conference on child care with one of our foremost experts America s first lady. Scholarships and background checks for child care workers and a new emphasis on early learning. Tax credits for businesses that provide child care for their employees, and a larger child care tax credit for working families. Crime Violent crime is down.
Robbery is down.
Assault is down. Burglary is down. For five years in a row, all across America. Now, we need to finish the job of putting 100,000 more police on our streets. I ask Congress to pass a juvenile crime bill that provides more prosecutors and probation officers to crack down on gangs and guns and drugs.
