The childcare system that we need is for the insane cost of living to get cut by 50%, at least, so a family can once again not only survive but actually live (pay rent/mortgage, eat, buy clothes and stuff for kids, own 2 cars, etc) on a single wage so that one parent can stay home with the kids.

Anything short of that is just going to increase taxes and make it even worse.
