This fantastic article in The 74 Media by Tobi Adejumo & Iheoma Iruka should drive a paradigm shift in early childhood care. We needed fundamental change even before AI came along.

Families across the country are feeling the pressure of rising costs — from groceries to rent to childcare.
The expanded monthly #ChildTaxCredit has proven to be a powerful tool for easing that financial strain. The #AmericanFamilyAct would make this relief permanent and more accessible.

The tax code should reward hard work, not just wealth. The EITC helps working families get ahead, but too many workers are left behind. My bill, the #WRCRAct, would create a fairer tax system—one that values labor, including unpaid labor, over tax breaks for the rich.

There are ways to cut excess responsibly, even to end entire programs - and there is Trump/Musk's way: cruel & inhumane. Look: foreign service professional serving overseas; pregnant wife denied medical evacuation repeatedly until hospitalized & unable to travel.

If your plan is to take healthcare from children, seniors and struggling families to pay for tax cuts for the richest 1%, it’s not a budget plan — it’s a values statement. And it’s a damning one.

Using #GDP and the usual tools of economics have produced stark economic inequity, injustice and put the planet on the brink. Different outcomes are only possible with different tools, like the Social Wealth Index (SWI), which accounts for investment in people and a sustainable world.

The Center for Partnership Systems is building the Social Wealth Index (SWI), a comprehensive metric of the economic value of the work of caring for people and nature.
