"I can tell you what the alternatives are to having $1,000 a month to pay for decent daycare."

"I would submit that people don't work just for their self-esteem or for their dignity. They need to make enough money to be able to pay the rent and put a Barbie doll under the Christmas tree at Chris..."

"What it means is that the cost of daycare in 2012 terms, $1,000 a month, $1,500 a month, depending on the age of your child, is so great that work does not pay."

"What we don't want to do is make sure people get just enough to get by and then provide disincentives for them to work."
