How do you think Congress can improve access to child care?
While not a direct answer to this question, Scott acknowledges on his campaign website that families are struggling financially in today’s economy. To help with this, he proposes raising the child deduction to the same as an adult for families making $100,000 or less a year. “This should help families financially and reduce the need for government financial aid,” Scott explains on his campaign website.
Where do you stand on federal abortion limits? What gestational limits, if any, would you set?
