Sanders and his campaign say the plan offers up free, full-day child care for every child from infancy, plus pre-K to every child in the country, starting at age 3.
Sen. Bernie Sanders on Monday outlined a pitch to replace the country’s onerous child care and early childhood education system with a federally funded and universal program, as the Vermont independent cemented his status as President Donald Trump’s front-running challenger.
Sanders and his campaign say the plan offers free, full-day child care for every child from infancy through age 3, and free pre-kindergarten education for every child in the country, starting at age 3. Much like his “Medicare for All” pledge, Sanders’ idea features an eyebrow-raising price tag: $1.5 trillion spent during the next decade.
How to pay for it? Tax the rich, the campaign says.
