I don't know how else to be clear on such an important conversation for parents who are looking for a clear path to creating a better life than to make sure that those same parents who are smart, engaged in the process of taking care of their kids--that those parents have the flexibility to make the choices that are best for them and not have those of us in Washington come down and say, 'Here's what we think is best for you.'
Burr emphasizes the importance of parental choice over bureaucratic decisions.

Why should we have any confidence in these contracts if in fact we are dealing with companies that don't manufacture anything?
I think we should all be able to agree, the status quo on childcare is not meeting the needs of our constituents.
There may be greater subsidies to a lot of parents, but the parents that don't qualify for a subsidy are going to be paying about $26,000 per child per year for their childcare.
non-subsidy providers would need to increase prices charged to parents. Those serving families who could not afford to pay higher cost might be forced to close.
