It would probably add to our national debt, but so far one of the only ideas I actually would appreciate.

What I think is why the hell is Ivanka Trump proposing legislation to Congress at all?

Who elected her to anything??

Tell her to write and call her local rep like everyone else.

Geez--one Trump in the admin is bad enough. Two and a Kushner is worse.

Daughter, but the point still applies.
What office was she elected to exactly?

The same one Hillary was elected to in 1993 when she chaired the healthcare taskforce.

That would be the biggest thing for us. The removal of income cap or something to offset what we owe at the end of the year.

Equally inappropriate.

And what $40,000 a year family can afford THAT?

Yes, I know she's his daughter but she seems to be filling in for his wife. She goes everywhere with him. Guess he just HAS to have a blonde at his side...

Up until this school year we were paying 3750 per month in daycare. Now that was son started Kindergarten it has been reduced to 2090 per month plus my sons after school at 550 so 2650. I think we always get a small deduction for daycare. I do not think we cap out. I do know we do not qualify to deduct student loans anymore. I believe we should get a tax deduction. We are working obviously hence the need for care.

Well, as far as I know, there is no office titled "substitute First Lady."

Either Melania is First Lady or she isn't. She and her husband need to decide what is more important--their cushy life in Trump Tower and Maralago or the country. And this is a woman who has been given a great deal by this country. A suspect Green Card, a nice career, loads of money and a trophy husband. For a woman raised in a Communist household, she seems incredibly ungrateful.

What we have here is a First Family who refuse to make any personal sacrifices for the office of President but are incredibly self-important. How bizarro is that?

We don't need a substitute First Lady and a First Daughter who thinks she and her husband are now in charge of DC. We should have a real one. A real president would help also.
