  "textContent": "Last week, the president pitted childcare against his desire to fund the costly, unpopular and likely unconstitutional war in Iran.\n\nTrump said the U.S. “can’t take care of daycare” because “we have to take care of one thing: military protection.”\n\nHe pinned the responsibility solely on the states, sharing that he told Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, “Don’t send any money for daycare. .... We’re a big country. We have 50 states. We have all these other people. We’re fighting wars. You got to let a state take care of daycare. And they should pay for it, too.”\n\nIn many states, the average cost of daycare runs upward of $1,000 a month per child.\n\nThe post A Government That Chooses War Over Childcare appeared first on Ms. Magazine.",
