Confronting the U.S. child care crisis

For some American families, the cost of child care is more than their mortgage. CBS MoneyWatch reporter Megan Cerullo joins CBSN's Tanya Rivero to break down the story.

When the Government realized they can tax both adults under one roof this became an issue.

Time for moms to stay home and take care of our babies. We have paid the price of job loss in the Pandemic, time to see the silver lining. Raising kids is way more fun than working & way more important

Local daycare near me pays $8 for part time workers and $9-10 for full time workers. It's a difficult job. They need to raise the wages.

Being a single parent isn't anything to brag about.

When I grew up both parents didn't have to work because the Federal Reserve/Federal Gov. (partners) hadn't destroyed the value of the dollar yet.

What crisis ?
You mean difficulty ? Because that has been going on for decades !
But government involvement is that last thing we need .
Politicians involved on how people raise their kids ? Nah, look what they did to their kids !

It would be ideal if a women got skills before she had a baby or another baby.

College.
College cost a lot of money and then people need a lot of money to pay back the loans. They need good wages to pay back the debt. Employers need to pay good money to get employees. Employers need profit to pay wages. Profit requires high pricing. Then customers can't afford to purchase.
Accept less students into colleges and the bring the prices down. Too many people are able to go to college.
