参考原文：
Thank you President Trump. You talked about how the increase in the price of food, gas and rent is hurting families, but the real cost that's breaking families’ backs and preventing women from participating in the workforce is childcare. Childcare is now more expensive than rent for working families and is costing the economy more than $122 billion a year, making it one of the most urgent economic issues that is facing our country. In fact, the cost of childcare is outpacing the cost of inflation, with the majority of American families of young children spending more than 20% of their income on childcare. One thing that Democrats and Republicans have in common is that both parties talk a lot about what they're going to do to address the childcare crisis, but neither party has delivered meaningful change. If you win in November, can you commit to prioritizing legislation, make child care affordable, and it what specific piece of legislation will you advance?
参考译文：
感谢特朗普总统。您提到食品、汽油和租金价格上涨给家庭带来的压力，但真正摧垮家庭、阻碍女性参与劳动力市场的是育儿。现在，育儿服务的费用比许多工作家庭的租金还要高，并且每年给经济带来的成本超过了1220亿美元，这使得它成为我们国家面临的最紧迫的经济问题之一。事实上，育儿成本的上涨速度已经超过了通货膨胀，绝大多数有小孩的美国家庭将超过20%的收入用于育儿服务。民主党和共和党有一个共同点，那就是两党都频繁讨论将采取哪些措施来应对托儿危机，但无论哪个党派都没有带来实质性的改变。如果您在11月胜选，您能否承诺优先考虑相关立法，以此降低育儿服务成本？以及您将推进哪些具体的立法措施？
