## Transcript

The first part of my childcare plan allows for every parent or family in America, including adoptive parents and foster parent guardian, to deduct their childcare expenses from their income taxes. [ APPLAUSE ] That's the first. They will fully be able to deduct the average cost of childcare for their state. From birth through the age of 13. Our plan allows every parent in America to open up a dependent care savings account. Families can contribute up to $ 2, 000 a year to these accounts completely tax free. [ APPLAUSE ] By re- capturing fraud and improper payments in the unemployment insurance program, We can provide six weeks of paid maternity leave to any mother with a newborn child whose employer does not provide the benefit.

This maternity leave will be paid straight out of the unemployment insurance fund, and again The safety net will be completely paid for through savings within the program. My opponent has no childcare plan, she never will and if it ever evolves into a plan it'll never get done anyway. All talk, no action. [ APPLAUSE ] My father has created a plan that is designed to bring relief. And to provide working parents with options, so that they can make the decisions that are in the best interest of their families. Safe, affordable, high quality childcare should not be the luxury of a fortunate few.
