PARTICIPATING.

DIFFERENT IDEAS ARE FLOATING

AROUND.

ONE IDEA THAT, HEY, HOW ABOUT IF

WE FIND A WAY TO GET WOMEN BACK

INTO THE WORKFORCE BY LOWERING

CHILDCARE COSTS.

HOW ABOUT FREE MONEY.

UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME.

THOSE ARE THE COMPETING IDEAS.

WE HAVE DEROY MURDOCK BACK WITH

LETTER SAYING 15% OF WOMEN NOT

IN THE WORKFORCE CAN'T GET INTO

THE WORKFORCE BECAUSE OF THE

SKYROCKETING COST OF CHILDCARE.

>> I THINK THE STATE OR FEDERAL

GOVERNMENT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY

TO TACKLE THE ISSUE OF

CHILDCARE.

WE SEE A LOT OF INVESTMENT IN

SUBJECTS DOES FOR LOWER INCOME

FAMILIES AT THE STATE AND

FEDERAL LEVEL.

OBVIOUSLY WOMEN AND FAMILIES

NEED TO RELY ON SOME KIND OF

CHILDCARE.

SOME RELY ON FAMILY.

EVEN IF THEY FAMILY CLOSE BY,

THOSE INDIVIDUALS MAY NEED TO

WORK.

IN GENERAL PEOPLE MAY HAVE A

LOVED ONE THAT MIGHT BE SICK

THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.

BUT IN THE CONTEXT OF CHILDCARE,

ONE OF THE THINGS WE NEED TO

FOCUS ON IS THE MIDDLE CLASS

PEOPLE THAT FALL THROUGH THE

CRACKS IF YOU FIND A WAY TO

PHASE IN A SYSTEM OF GREAT

POSSIBILITY.

CHARLES: IN THE TAX BILL THERE

WERE CERTAIN MEASURES CHAMPIONED

I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF

PRESIDENT TRUMP TOOK IT A STEP

GET INFORMAL CHILDCARE, BUT THEY

CAN'T BECAUSE OF ALL THESE

LICENSING REQUIREMENTS.

WHEN I WAS GROWING UP, A LOVELY

LADY LIVED ACROSS THE STREET

GOOD OUR SCHOOL.

SHE WOULD HAVE FOOD FOR US AND

BOOKS FOR US TO READ.

MY MOM GOT INEXPENSIVE CHILDCARE

AND SHE GOT EXTRA MONEY.

AND THAT WAS ALL WITHOUT THE

REQUIREMENTS.

>> YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WITH

INTO SURE CHILDREN ARE IN A SAFE

ABOUT THAT.

CHARLES: LET'S SHIFT.

ALTERNATIVE TO THIS, CHICAGO IS

THE LATEST TOWN IN AMERICA

TALKING ABOUT, LET'S PROVIDE

IT.

ESSENTIALLY IT'S FREE MONEY.

IT'S OXYMORONIC, THEY TRIED IT

IN FINLAND AND IT FAILED.

HOW DO YOU GIVE PEOPLE MONEY AND

THINK THEY WILL SAY I AM GOING

TO WORK NOW.

>> I THINK IT'S BAD IDEA.

I DON'T THINK IT WRAPS WE WANT

TO INVEST OUR TAX DOLLARS.

IF WE ARE GOING TO GIVE SOMEBODY

$500 A MONTH, MAKE SURE THEY ARE

SPENDING IT ON CHILDCARE OR

TRAINING, OR EVEN BEING ABLE TO

ACCESS TRANSPORTATION TO GET TO

WORK WHICH IS SOMETIMES A

BARRIER TO GET OR MAINTAIN

EMPLOYMENT.

I DON'T THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA.

BUT I MAY BE THE MINORITY.

>> I THINK THE BEST WAY TO HELP

RECORD LOW BLACK AND HISPANIC

AND FEMALE UNEMPLOYMENT.

MORE TAX CUTS, MORE

DEREGULATION.

CHARLES: THE PRIDE OF WORKING.
