How much do you want to bet that tightening licenses for childcare providers is a nonstarter for republicans because it would mean shutting down virtually all church-based childcare centers?
If they were going to reform it in any way would be more like this.
“You know having this assistance for only poor people is actually discrimination, we must offer this money to all people who have to pay for child care regardless of income”
If you want proof of this, take a look at North Carolina School voucher system, Republicans remove the income cap so now no matter how much you make if your kid is in private school you can get a voucher.
Same for Iowa, and in response the private schools conveniently raised prices by the voucher amount so they make even more and still keep out the poor. Win win for them and the gop
The first part I’m not against, means-testing benefit programs makes them more susceptible to being destroyed through small cuts here and there because not everyone benefits in the first place. If democrats actually wanted to win, they could respond with “we shouldn’t discriminate, let’s make the benefit universal, you just need to use a childcare center who accepts our rate.”
You did miss something, and it is up for dispute.

I’m glad to see that it wasn’t as severe as originally reported.
If by not as severe you mean almost totally made up then yeah. Fucking republicans.
