Working families to be hit if Trump elected: Clinton

Washington

“I think with somebody like Donald Trump, you would see a race to the bottom across our country, with working families paying the price. And I don’t think that’s a risk we can afford,” Clinton, 68, said. “We have to reject that vision and instead come up with a much more positive one for families and children,” Clinton said in an address to her supporters in Louisville, Kentucky as she capped her two-day visit focusing on families and children.

Clinton visited a family health clinic in Louisville where she committed to capping family child care costs and expanding home-visiting programmes for parents.

She also announced a new child care proposal which would increase child care investments so no family pays more than 10 per cent of their income for child care. The plan will create a new initiative to fund and support states and local communities that work to increase the compensation of child care providers and early educators, as well as provide home visiting services to more than two million parents and children in the next decade by doubling the national investment in evidenced-based home visiting initiatives.
