> I agree the lowest paying jobs should not be subsidized, but I think the benefits of taxpayer subsidized childcare would be overwhelmingly positive.

I don't understand. What's the difference?

You are using taxes revenues to subsidize uneconomical labor to be economical.

What is so different about subsidizing a entry worker's pay or their child care bills?

FWIW, the article makes no mention of it, but child care is tax subsidized in the U.S. via the Child Care Credit [1].
