Conservatives know that strong families are what make America thrive. They build up our neighborhoods, sustain our communities, pass down our values, and create a brighter future for every American citizen.
Yet for years, Washington has treated families as an afterthought—at best—and an outright barrier to “progress” at worst. President Donald J. Trump knows that bureaucrats shouldn’t have the final say in raising our kids. So from child care to school choice to paid family leave, the Trump Administration is putting parents back in control.
🎬 Watch: President Trump is putting control back into parents’ hands!
Today, President Trump and Ivanka Trump hosted a White House Summit on Child Care and Paid Family Leave. “Our goal is simple,” the President said. “We want to expand child care options and reduce unnecessary regulations so that parents can choose the best care for their children, including, and very importantly, in-home and faith-based care.”
After all, how families balance work and raising children is a deeply personal choice. Government’s mission should be to support parents as they make the best decision possible for their families, not to dictate a one-size-fits-all “solution” for every household.
That support begins with access to quality child care, both from safe providers and from parents themselves. “In more than 60 percent of American homes, both parents work,” President Trump said. “Yet many struggle to afford child care, which often costs more than $10,000 per year. And it’s devastating to families, frankly. Devastating.”
Help is on the way. In his State of the Union Address this February, President Trump called for Congress to pass paid family leave into law. One week ago, legislators introduced “very strong bipartisan legislation, Paid Family Leave legislation,” the President said today. “We were thrilled.”
This kind of support for working families has defined the Trump Administration’s economic and social agenda since day one:
The President signed legislation last year securing historic funding for the Child Care and Development Block Grant, which helps low-income families access quality child care programs.
The Trump tax cuts included a new tax credit that incentivizes companies to offer paid family leave to their employees.
The Administration worked with Congress to secure paid parental leave for all Federal employees as part of the National Defense Authorization Act.
The President’s tax cuts also doubled the child tax credit, benefitting more than 40 million American families with an average of over $2,200 apiece this year.

@debrac3391 We'll, we'll just have to disagree. Again the "message of Jesus" was NOT to take from one to give to another. His message was that "God loves a cheerful giver" and when you give to not let your left hand know what the right has given. Now pay attention..... If giving a hand out to the poor solved poverty, then the war on poverty would have been won decades ago. Hand outs are not the solution. Hands UP is. This is the land of OPPORTUNITY, not the land of FREE benefits paid by "the wealthy".. (which will eventually be anyone with money) Finally, I DO know history. I can show you clearly how every attempt at your socialist utopia has led to disaster. How Nordic countries are going broke and their prior Capitalist gains are being depleted. I just don't understand why millions of people are FLEEING these socialist countries in order to come here for (sexism, racism, homophobia, chauvinism, wealth inequality, fleecing of the poor, inequality, and all the other nonsense that this Bolshevik is trying to sell, while NOBODY is leaving for greener pastures!! Think what you want. Just pray that this con man NEVER gets to the white house. The damage he will cause will take decades to repair. You'll still be blaming Trump.
