In this hour, Maggie explores Wisconsin's escalating childcare crisis, where monthly costs can soar past $3,000. Joined by early education expert Daithi Wolfe from Kids Forward, the discussion sheds light on the devastating impact of proposed Republican budget cuts that threaten vital childcare subsidies. Wolfe emphasizes the economic ripple effect—particularly on working mothers—and the urgent need for sustained investment in early education. The conversation doesn’t shy away from criticizing GOP economic policies, branding them a “reverse Robin Hood” scheme that benefits the wealthy at the expense of working families. Stay tuned for upcoming events and expert insights that will keep this critical issue front and center.
