The junta proposed spending $225 billion on subsidized daycare over the next decade as part of its nearly $2 trillion American Families Plan. This is on top of the proposed $200 billion the administration hopes to spend to create a universal government preschool program for 3- and 4-year-olds. The plan is presented as a way to get mothers back in the labor force by subsidizing child care expenses.<ref>https://www.bizpacreview.com/2021/06/13/bidens-taxpayer-funded-childcare-plan-wont-work-harvard-economist-and-obama-ally-concludes-1088302/</ref> A study on the long-term impact of universal child care subsidies found that "the negative effects on noncognitive outcomes persisted to school ages, and also that cohorts with increased child care access had worse health, lower life satisfaction, and higher crime rates later in life.” Boys were particularly harmed by the child care subsidy program: “Increases in aggression and hyperactivity are concentrated in boys, as is the rise in the crime rates.”<ref>https://pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/10.1257/pol.20170603</ref>

Two-parent households with two preschool-age children and incomes up to $130,000 would qualify for federal cash assistance for daycare. Single parents with two preschoolers and incomes up to $113,000 would qualify. And some families with incomes over $200,000 would be eligible for health-insurance subsidies.<ref>https://archive.is/SoYT8</ref>
''The Economist'' noted that “Joe Biden wants to Europeanise the American [[welfare state]]” by installing child care subsidies, universal government preschool, “free” community college, and related programs. When the UK implemented subsidized child care and preschool programs, it led to private providers going out of business, along with higher costs and less customer satisfaction.<ref>https://www.economist.com/united-states/2021/05/20/joe-biden-wants-to-europeanise-the-american-welfare-state</ref>
