Warren's universal child care plan is the most important idea out there right now

This is the kind of idea we need. This is so much more important than free college tuition. The working poor need child care.

Free college tuition is about the middle class. Medicare for all is about the middle class. Child care is an issue that actually gets to what the working class needs.

shouldn’t be forgotten. Of course, a vibrant middle class is necessary to help poorer people too. But child care costs are hard to overcome for working poor.

If not free, education needs to be affordable. While we are at it, screw for profit education like trump “university.”
