One recent study ranked the United States the second-worst out of 35 industrialized countries as a place for families. We ranked behind Bulgaria. Now we have a historic chance to support children and families. President Biden’s American Families Plan proposes programs such as high-quality day care and pre-K that are routine elsewhere in the world. But “pro-family” Republicans are balking. “You know who else liked universal day care?” tweeted Senator Marsha Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican. She cited the old Soviet Union, apparently suggesting that there is something Communist about day care.

I think Republican rhetoric about the importance of families is dead-on, but in practice G.O.P. leaders are weakening families by resisting programs that would help them.

Sometimes inmates are charged $10 per minute for phone calls, and prisons are often located in remote parts of a state (for economic development reasons), making in-person family visits difficult. So bravo to Connecticut! The legislature there has passed a measure that would make it the first state in the country to make phone calls from prison free. This will help inmates remain closer to families, but above all it may benefit prisoners’ children who feel stigmatized, rejected and isolated when a parent is incarcerated. Here again, we should be supporting families, not tearing them apart. Forty Years of AIDS In June 1981 I was a summer intern on the national desk of The Washington Post, and the science writer, Phil Hilts, told me about a new federal report of a strange and lethal disease striking gay men. It was of course the first report of AIDS, which I’ve covered regularly over the decades around the world.

Rush Limbaugh mockingly read aloud the names of gay men who died of AIDS and once said, “Gays deserved their fate.” A second recollection is how little interest there was in helping people abroad, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, tackle AIDS. George W. Bush — paradoxically, pushed by evangelicals — reversed that with his Pepfar program, saving millions of lives. It was the best thing he did, and one of the best things America has done in my lifetime.

Foreign potentates routinely invest ill-gotten dollars in American properties, hiding behind shell companies and trusts. So I hope Biden goes beyond lip service, requires transparency and seizes some of this wealth so that it can be returned to the people who need it.

For example, one new study looks at 4-year-olds who won a random lottery in the late 1990s and early 2000s to attend public pre-K in Boston. Two decades later, those who won the lottery were more likely to graduate from high school, to enter college and to do well on SAT exams. They also were less likely to have been jailed in high school. It’s because of research like this that I’ve been jumping up and down about the importance of Biden’s proposals for national day care and pre-K. This is the most important policy proposal of 2021, and I hope Republicans will not only give lip service to strengthening families but also their votes.
