Trump in August had proposed reducing child care costs by allowing parents to fully deduct the average cost of child care from their taxes. DES MOINES, IOWA—Donald Trump is rolling out proposals Tuesday to make child care more affordable for working families, including a plan to guarantee new mothers six weeks of paid maternity leave and create new dependent-care savings accounts. It could be used to pay for child care, after-school programs and school tuition. Trump is expected to elaborate on his tax plan in a speech this week. Clinton, meanwhile, proposes that no family should spend more than 10 per cent of its income on child care.
