The president "says it's 'not possible' for the U.S. to pay for Medicaid, Medicare and day care: 'We’re fighting wars'
He urged states to fund benefits programs instead because "we have to take care of one thing: military protection."

Hah! You'd have to hope to be in a blue state to get any of these benefits paid by the states. Tennessee can't survive without Federal funds.

Hillary Clinton's

Hillary Clinton's response,

This isn’t surprising coming from a president who has dismissed America’s affordability crisis as a “hoax” and a “con job.” For most parents, the crunch is all too real. Our kids will pay the price for the president’s indifference.
...
They ignore the financial burdens crushing parents who are trying to provide a safe, healthy, middle-class life for their kids. Their answer is too often nostalgia and misogyny: If we could turn back the clock to a time when women didn’t work (and knew their place), the economy would thrive and families would flourish. This is substantively and politically brain-dead.
