Our welfare system forces poor parents to work without providing adequate childcare. The city of Portland, Oregon, is pioneering an alternative model.
In this excerpt from “Getting Me Cheap: How Low-Wage Work Traps Women and Girls in Poverty,” sociologists Amanda Freeman and Lisa Dodson examine how the country’s broken childcare system leaves poor mothers struggling to find any form of childcare in order to work – let alone the high-quality, affordable childcare that they were promised.
A key part of the national plan to end welfare was, according to then-presidential candidate Bill Clinton, the promise to “empower people with the education, training and child care they need” to move up and out of poverty.
Politicians promised high-quality, subsidized childcare to enable poor mothers to discover the “dignity of work,” because suddenly the work they were doing in their homes, caring for kids, no longer counted.
But the availability of childcare has never come close to meeting the need. Today, most states serve only between 5-25% of eligible families who qualify for childcare subsidies. Sheila Katz, a white professor at the University of Houston and an expert on women’s poverty and social welfare, explains: “With welfare reform, the politicians became much more interested in forcing women to work, and then kind of offering child care while they worked, but that child care was never comprehensive enough to care for their kids.”
Across the country, we heard moms complain about incredibly long wait lists, especially for spots in subsidized daycare centers. One low-income mom in Denver explains she’s only able to work five hours a day until her daughter gets off a waiting list for after-school care: “She’s on four wait lists.
But I can’t leave a 7-year-old alone. I broke down this week.”

One reason centers cite for not accepting subsidies are the set rates for care allowed by the subsidy program in each state. If the market supports much higher tuition costs (and the center has a waiting list of potential full-payers), there is little incentive to absorb the extra cost of taking a child with a voucher, which may be several hundred dollars a month.
Childcare aid for low-income families consists of means-tested or income-eligibility vouchers, Head Start and Pre-K programs. Childcare is not an entitlement program like Social Security or veterans benefits. When childcare money runs out, they start waiting lists. Only about 40% of eligible children get into Head Start and early Head Start programs, and with thousands of families on wait lists, many will never get off. Other federal aid for childcare provided through tax credits never reaches low-income families because care has to be paid for up front.
The insufficient public childcare system (or lack thereof) in the U.S. stands in contrast to European countries who invest heavily in universal programs that serve all children. Even affluent families struggle to find daycare openings, especially in major metropolitan areas where some wait lists open months before birth.
The U.S. may find a model for high-quality universal public childcare for 3- and 4-year-olds in Portland, Oregon, starting in the fall of 2022.
In 2020, Multnomah County passed a ballot measure approving a tax on the wealthy to fund a year-round childcare and preschool program for all resident children in this age bracket. Portland’s plan includes options ranging from home to center-based care in different languages and locations around the county. All kids may attend up to six hours per day free of charge; kids from low-income families receive up to 10 hours per day and priority enrollment. Different locations offer evening and weekend hours.
The measure passed with wide-ranging public support, perhaps in part because of the aim to serve all children.
Portland State University economics professor Mary King, a public childcare expert and advocate, describes the public support she observed before the vote. “Parents really seemed to have an understanding that child care is not affordable for most people. So that, you know, it’s a real issue for middle-class families, as well as lower-income families, to pay for child care, despite the fact that you can’t make a decent living doing it.”
Women like Joan who serve as daycare providers, preschool teachers, and babysitters are some of the lowest paid workers in America, though they provide what moms universally recognize as the most important service. Around 95% of childcare workers are women and they are disproportionately women of color, according to the Economic Policy Institute. The median wage for childcare workers is around $10 an hour, compared to $17 for workers in other occupations.
One in seven are living in poverty, and they are much less likely than other workers to have benefits at work, with 85% of childcare workers reporting they do not receive health insurance coverage from their jobs.
Universal childcare in Portland stands out partially because of the plan to increase the salaries of all childcare workers, including classroom aides and teaching assistants, to a minimum of around $20 an hour. These are not just public school employees who are a part of a union but also in-home daycare providers and aides. Programs like the one in Portland are rare, but they show the possibility of treating children as a community priority — ultimately perhaps as a national priority.
Even with incremental progress, gaps will persist. There is wide-ranging public support for proposals on the local and national level to expand public schooling to include a preschool component for 3- and 4-year-olds. But there is much less public conversation and support for expanding opportunities and assistance for infant care, which is even more expensive and harder to find than care for older kids.
According to Professor King, “The people in the campaign I was working with very much see preschool as the first and easiest step. The next thing that is absolutely necessary is zero to two [years old] … both because it’s a huge crying need and so expensive, so challenging, and because there’s the recognition that once you have a better paid universal preschool program, even fewer providers are going to offer infant and toddler care.”
In contrast to valuing childcare, mothers offered detailed accounts of problems accessing and relying on the current system of childcare “assistance.” They reported filling out mountains of paperwork to apply, certify, and recertify qualifications for a voucher. Since the amount of the voucher is adjusted by income, moms would continuously report their earnings, which caused trouble when hours fluctuated as they often did. Fran, a single mother of two young children living in public housing in Boston, says, “It’s hard to get hired when you are a parent, but I need to get a job first to get a voucher for her to go to daycare” in order to go to work.
Caught in a similar dilemma, Jesse tried to enroll her daughter in the childcare assistance program in Connecticut called Care 4 Kids but discovered she made too much. “I think it was like $16 extra a month or something over the limit, so they wouldn’t give it to me.” But after leaving that job, she also couldn’t qualify for a Care 4 Kids voucher until she had lined up another job, which was impossible without childcare arrangements.
Even after securing a childcare voucher, finding a provider who would accept the voucher was equally challenging. We met several low-income moms providing childcare services out of their homes who had difficulty enrolling kids with subsidies because of the paperwork nightmare and problems the ever-changing subsidies created for providers. Aurora, a single mom of an 8-year-old son, moved from Montana to California when she was accepted into an apprenticeship program to learn a trade. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to get her little family on its feet.

“I was accepted into that program, and I did have a support system in place, but it fell through,” she says. “I needed childcare which started between 4:30 and 5 a.m.; I had to drop him off…And I gotta be there on Monday. I literally looked online, and was just looking for someone that would accept government assistance childcare, which is what I had.”
Aurora could not find any providers with openings that would take her voucher. “Why do all these places refuse to take the state money? Because they are not really about helping a single mom make it,” she says. She also speculates that the state requires too much paperwork and makes it hard for childcare providers to accept subsidies.
Voucher use also tends to be clustered in areas with lower average incomes adding to economic segregation. Some childcare providers in affluent areas are never even asked about accepting a subsidy. A study by the Urban Institute uncovered some troubling patterns among providers who accepted vouchers, including lower teacher wages, higher teacher turnover, and more students assigned to each teacher.
They found that half of family daycare providers and around 60% of daycare centers had served at least one student with a voucher in the previous six months. It’s important to keep in mind, however, these rates are tracking the regulated childcare market, which doesn’t include providers working off the books. According to the same report, one reason some providers cited for accepting students with subsidies was because of the guarantee of on-time payment for at least some part of the tuition.
Holding on to a childcare voucher is also tricky and usually short-lived. Poor moms navigate a tangle of rules and regulations in order to maintain their subsidies, and they cannot be late with their portion of the payment if they want to keep their spots. Losing a childcare voucher for even a month or two could mean dropping out for a semester or getting fired from a job because of excessive absences. The moms we spoke with worked around the clock to fulfill all of the requirements on a continuous basis, usually after long hours on the job and caring for kids.
The average annual cost of daycare for an infant in the state of Massachusetts is a whopping $20,913, according to the Economic Policy Institute’s childcare calculator, straining the budgets of even middle-class parents. A minimum-wage worker would have to surrender their entire paycheck for more than 10 months of the year to cover it.
According to the Center for Law and Social Policy, families below the poverty line who pay privately for childcare typically spend an average of 30% of their income on it. The prohibitive cost of childcare forced several moms we met to compromise on the quality of care, just to ensure their kids were somewhere. Jill, a white mom from Connecticut, turned to a woman in her neighborhood who she knew through her church offered low-cast babysitting. “It was just the kind of thing you could bring your kid there for the day and it was super cheap, like $30 for the day and convenient,” she says. “She wasn’t teaching them anything, but she’s literally just watching them, feeding them, making sure they don’t die… .
Of course, I’d rather have [my daughter] somewhere else, learning, going out to the pool or the park if it was the summer. I didn’t just want her stuck inside, but sometimes it wasn’t worth it because I couldn’t pay my other bills.” There is no question that factors like cost and convenience impact poor mothers’ decisions about childcare.
When her daughter turned four, Jill qualified for an income-adjusted preschool, which she and her daughter both love. “It’s a sliding scale. I only pay $120 a week, and it’s a longer, full day to five o’clock instead of three. When you first enroll, you have to show what you are making, and that’s how they set our tuition,” she explained. Jill appreciates that the teachers bundle up the kids and take them to play outside, no matter what the weather; the school is focused on learning and discipline, and it’s only five minutes from her house. “It’s the best childcare I’ve had so far, other than my parents.”

A magical, very beautiful place. Roses amaze with their beauty. True, not everyone smelled pleasant, there were those that seemed to be without aroma, but there were those that it was even unpleasant to smell them.

A piece of Japan in the New World
I have been to Japan many times and am well acquainted with traditional Japanese gardens. Yes, it’s still not quite the same as in the Land of the Rising Sun, but very close.
Those who would like to feel the calming effect of man-made gardens should definitely visit this place. The clean expanse of ponds, disturbed by huge Japanese carps, the crystal murmur of streams, the rapid run of which you can admire from the openwork bridge, lush inflorescences of rhododendrons and oleanders, picturesque groups of stones, small stone altars, all this creates an elusive atmosphere of sophistication and harmony, gives inner peace and relaxation soul.

A great place to sit out the heat!
As already mentioned in previous reviews, Lan Su Chinese Garden is quite pulling on the title of an oasis. It is quiet, cozy, cool here (even in the midst of a hot July day) and very beautiful.
One of the few places in Portland worth visiting.
Admission costs money, but the price includes a long tour of the garden. Very interesting and educational!
In general, if you want to usefully sit out a couple of hours of the heat during the day, this place is perfect!

And now everything looked as it should. The center is located in accordance with its status next to the remarkable Orthodox Cathedral of the Descent of the Holy Spirit. There are sculptures in front of the entrance. As follows from the information before the same entrance, the main purpose of the center is spiritual education. In addition, there is a small temple, a museum, administrative, as well as educational and residential premises for students. You can go inside, some person waved his hand invitingly, but they became shy and limited themselves to an external examination. 
Here, next to the Cathedral of the Descent of the Holy Spirit, not far from the Svisloch River, there is the Spiritual and Educational Center of the Belarusian Orthodox Church. The building is quite new, but fits well into the overall ensemble of the Upper Town. From the inside, the view is also quite decent. Worth to visit.

This is one of the oldest cities in the USA. Its appearance is a combination of modern architecture and ancient buildings. An unusual building of the concert hall – “Egg”, which resembles a flying saucer. The city hall building is a classic of the Victorian era. The university is an example of neo-gothic. The most famous building in the city is the majestic and ornate State Capitol. At one time it was the most expensive building among analogues.
A city of glass, concrete and picturesque parks. More than 50 million tourists visit it every year. Everything is famous here – streets, houses, museums, theaters, monuments. The Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge, Central Park and Trinity Church, the Metropolitan Opera House and Carnegie Hall are attractions that everyone has heard of. Broadway is the longest street in the US with dozens of theaters along it. Fifth Avenue, with its chic shops, and amazing museums. Wall street with stock exchange. In New York, there are fifty buildings above 200 m. The most famous are the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the Woolworth Building, the Rockefeller Center complex. The tallest is the new building of the World Trade Center, built on the site of the “twin towers” (417 m). The most unusual is the Flatiron Building – triangular in section. There are several museums in New York with the richest collections. The Metropolitan Museum of Art – 2 million exhibits – from ancient Egypt and Assyria to the classics of the Renaissance and the Impressionists.
Museum of Modern Art – 150,000 items, including works by the most famous masters of the XIX-XXI centuries. The Guggenheim Museum is known not only for the originality of the building, but also for its grandiose exhibitions. And then there is the Whitney Museum and the Frick Gallery, the Brooklyn Museum and the stunning Natural History Museum. New York is the Babylon of modernity. 
Of interest are the old buildings of the city hall, and the post office, and a very original building of the city court. Spread out in the northern part of the city, Delaware Park is one of the masterpieces of landscape design. It, among other things, houses an art museum and a small zoo. And just 25 km from Buffalo is Niagara Falls.

The bird sitter’s rate is usually inclusive, but discuss the food, guests, tv, and sleeping arrangements before booking with your chosen sitter.
Maybe there are items ready for use? No, the fork was ready when it lay. 
Language is the way of civilization and culture. Therefore, the study and preservation of the Russian language is not an idle occupation with nothing to do, but an urgent need. 
However, if we use our imagination, we will soon imagine how birds can walk, jump, sit in a nest, and, for example, a heron can stand in water. 
I would like to remind you that you need to have fun wisely, and specifically in this case, turn to the explanatory dictionary for an explanation of the words: stand, lie down and sit. After such an acquaintance with words, this text becomes more primitive than comic, and you become smarter – and your interests become more significant. 
The fact is that grabbing a branch with three fingers in front and one behind, the bird does not strain a single muscle. The tendons of the paw are arranged in such a way that the weight of the bird itself pulls them and the back toe bends towards the front. That is why the bird can sleep sitting on a branch, not at all worrying that in a dream the grip will weaken, and it will crash from the tree. That is, maybe she is not sitting, not standing, but hanging. .jpg)

1995, the municipal preschool educational institution “Children’s Garden No. 19 Orthodox”, aimed at children from Orthodox families aged 3 to 7 years. 
In the kindergarten, a speech center, an elective on the Fundamentals of Orthodox Culture, and an art activity circle are successfully functioning. 
The institution is attended by many children from low-income and large families. It is not yet possible to satisfy the needs of everyone, since the kindergarten needs additional premises for children of two age groups, bedrooms, sports and music halls. Despite the existing difficulties, the Orthodox kindergarten lives a rich and interesting life, filled with the spirit of kindness, care, love for one’s neighbor – this is an organism that tries to adhere to Orthodox traditions and absorb all the good that the Church of Christ contains.

They will do check ins as often as needed until your child’s piercing is fully healed. 
Refer to their detailed ear piercing page for more details. 
Most often, women’s ears are pierced, although men are not far behind.
The off-season is best – in winter, the ears grow more slowly, and in the summer it is difficult to process the wound.
The doctor was very knowledgeable and explained everything to me. The doctor took it very carefully, spent a lot of time with me, everything was told in an accessible form to me, I understood everything about my disease. The clinic is good. I liked it. Everything is well decorated, the interior is so wonderful, everything is clean and the consultants are good. 
I am satisfied with the work of the staff.
Doctors working in the clinic will help even in the most difficult cases. They will select the necessary therapy and restore health. All this for a reasonable price. The clinic itself is very comfortable. The receptionists are responsive, pleasant girls, very attentive and friendly. Always helpful when contacting. I’ve been seeing the Genesis clinic for several years.
She deserves the highest praise. 
Thank you.
I have a lot of pain under my right shoulder blade. Sometimes the pain reaches the neck and spine. I really hope that after the course, everything will pass.

for a long time. Jewelry made from a high-quality medical alloy CAN be worn in healed punctures or those that heal in less than 20 days, because after that the alloy begins to oxidize due to the fact that it contains nickel, which is dangerous for the human body.

The birth of the 5.56×45 mm cartridge
In three years, the war managed to sweep from the border almost to the edge of the Korean peninsula, then back to the Chinese border, again to Seoul, and eventually freeze at the 38th parallel.
And if the powerful .30-06 still forgave mistakes in determining the range to the enemy, then soldiers with the M1 Carbine, and especially with its automatic variant, the M2, often shot their cartridges even before the enemy actually approached them at an effective fire distance.
It is generally accepted that work on it began in 1957, when the headquarters of the US Continental Army Command (CONARC), led by General Willard Wyman, sent a letter to the Infantry Board with the title “Study of the military characteristics of a high-speed and small-caliber rifle.”
, with an excellent flat trajectory at the range desired by the military.
222 Remington Magnum was born.
Consequently, the barrel, receiver and all parts subjected to dynamic loading are made of steel for high strength and wear resistance. Aluminum 7075-T6 is only used in components that do not experience dynamic forces or impacts. A typical example of such a part is the trigger guard, which must withstand only static loads. The lightweight rifle stock is made from American walnut.
Having calculated the parameters for his version of the .222 Rem, Eugene Stoner turned to two major ammunition manufacturers, Remington and … Winchester, with a request to make a batch of new cartridges. On the Winchester, they naturally didn’t want to help the competitor, but on the Remington they willingly made another new cartridge, originally called .222 Special. With him, the first AR-15 and went to the test.
But in August 1958, one of the main proponents of the SCHV concept, General Wyman, resigned. The chances of adopting a new small-caliber rifle noticeably deteriorated, and the Winchester managers decided not to chase the cranes in the sky, but to focus on the chickadee. The company refused to participate in the competition and soon received a government contract for the manufacture of a regular M14. Of all the participants in the race, only Armalite remained on the track, but even here the prospects did not look very good, since back in the summer, the president of the parent company Fairchild, Richard Boutelle, reported a loss in the first half of the year in the amount of about $ 5 million.
