Republicans have advocated for tax cuts to help providers and businesses. Is there a middle ground there or are you more on the Evers path of subsidizing providers for child care? Well, I actually have a third path which is to expand the Wisconsin Shares program which is paid for 60% by federal funds. to let everyone participate in that. And that way we can cap the cost for parents at 7% of your income per kid and for most parents and say you make $100,000 a year, that would be $7,000 per child. (02:08–02:16)
