But\u200d now, one\u200d liberal think \u200ctank expects\u200b the depletion to lead to a collapse of much\u2064 of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dc-public-school-officials-release-sobering-results-of-math-and-english-assessments\/\" title=\"DC Public School Officials Share 'Alarming' Math and English Assessment Results\">child care sector<\/a>. When the spending dries up on Sept. 30, over 70,000 child care programs are expected to shutter, according to the Century Foundation. The organization estimated roughly 3.2 million children will be at risk of losing their spots at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/makes-u-s-uncompetitive-funds-favored-industries-friends-analysts-rip-bidens-infrastructure-plan\/\" title=\"Makes U.S. \u2018Uncompetitive,\u2019 Funds \u2018Favored Industries, Friends\u2019: Analysts Rip Biden\u2019s Infrastructure Plan\">child care facilities<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>An official for\u200b the Biden \u200cadministration said that while the administration \u2063maintains\u200c the president&#8217;s commitment to keeping child care\u200d accessible and continuing support\u200b for families and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/harris-relief-package-passed-to-fund-public-policy-programs\/\" title=\"Harris: Relief package passed to fund public policy programs\">child care workers<\/a>, it believes Congress needs to \u2062implement a legislative solution\u200d and \u200cthat \u200bBiden is prepared to work with Congress to take \u200cthe matter on.<\/p>\n<h3>Economic Impact and\u2062 Job Losses<\/h3>\n<p>The Century Foundation predicted that families will face losses of \u200d$9 billion in total annual earnings if child care goes unaddressed following the depletion. This is the expected result of\u200d facilities closing and \u200cparents being forced to leave their jobs or cut\u200c their hours. Not only\u2062 will parents be forced to leave their jobs, but those who work within the child \u200dcare\u200c system will be unemployed,\u2062 leaving an estimated 232,000 people without jobs.<\/p>\n<p>This would also adversely affect \u2063states, per the organization. In fact, the Century Foundation said states will likely lose $10.6 billion in tax\u2064 and business revenue\u2064 each year following\u2063 the end of the spending.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200d White House indicated it wouldn&#8217;t seek to prioritize \u2063replenishing\u2064 the fund\u2064 in the spending battle\u200b in Congress, according\u200b to Politico.<\/p>\n<h3>Rising Costs\u2063 and Inflation<\/h3>\n<p>Although \u2064inflation has fallen in recent months, the price of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-friendly-economist-bigger-benefit-checks-mean-fewer-workers\/\" title=\"Biden-Friendly Economist: Bigger Benefit Checks Mean Fewer Workers\">child care services<\/a> has risen by 6% \u200cin the past year. Child care is understood to cost roughly $10,000 a year. While this \u2064has\u2064 already been pointed to as unaffordable and a reason for much of the country&#8217;s \u2062inability to access\u200c programs, bills are \u200bestimated to begin climbing after the fund dries up.<\/p>\n<p>Experts predict significant economic effects from the abrupt end of federal payments from the ARP&#8217;s spending without congressional or executive action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChild care prices are going to be going up heading \u200cinto the 2024 election, when everyone\u2019s running on the economy,\u201d said Whitney Pesek, director of federal child care\u200b policy at the National Women\u2019s Law Center.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pandemic child care funding, provided by President Biden&#8217;s American Rescue Plan, will expire this month.
