Maggie and guest co-host Matt Rothschild dissect the GOP's budget cuts in Wisconsin, particularly the $480 million slash to childcare funding, highlighting the hypocrisy in their 'family values' rhetoric. Corrine Hendrickson with Main Street Alliance and daycare owner joins to emphasize the impact on childcare providers, predicting a 25% shutdown statewide if cuts persist. Republicans prioritize tax cuts for the wealthy over essential childcare support and exacerbate the crisis for working families.
