Should the Child Care Industry Get a Bailout?  This article in the New York Times states that “… half the child care supply in the United States is potentially at risk of closing permanently, according to an analysis by the Center for American Progress. It combined the center’s data on child care availability with a March survey of 6,000 providers by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Seventeen percent said they could not survive any closure without government support; 30 percent said they could not survive more than two weeks; and 16 percent said they could not survive more than a month.”

“Democrats proposed $50 billion for a business that is in danger of widespread failure — and that many parents need before they can return to work.”
