I worked two jobs and my wife stayed home. Child care.

Do you have anger issues or something?
So I assume the answer is yes, while you waited on the daycare of your choice you were somehow able to battle through this “crisis” and survived virtually unscathed?

childcare is only an issue because we've been taxed into permanent two-working parent households.

I paid for daycare for my kids and I sure as hell don’t need to subsidize daycare for other people’s kids. Just like the Ukraine war and Iran, my taxes don’t need to go to that shite, either. Pretty sad to see how far we fallen in America when daycare is a talking point leading to a presidential election.

Read "give me free shite"
That's what this boils down to. Eliminating personal responsibility to not have children you can't afford.
I know childcare is expensive, but it certainly hasn't reached a point where normal people can't find a solution. What Dems and some repubs want is for life to be easy for everyone and that's just never going to be the case

If women left the labor market the men would earn twice as much allowing the women to stay home and raise the kids thus solving the crisis.
The crisis was created by leftists pushing women's liberation.

it's expensive as shite. that's the crisis. There is a shortage of availability, so the providers can charge whatever the frick they want and they do

If you can't afford childcare, quit screwing. Your child is NOT my problem. Damn sure isn't my responsibility.

That’s a business opportunity. Govt adding money to the pot isn’t going to solve the cost problem, it’ll make it worse. Govt restricting what can be charged isn’t going to solve the supply issue. I’m going to open a daycare as a second career. Apparently it’s a blank check right now.

yeah past tense. childcare in my area has doubled in the last 5-10 years. He doesn't just choose to pay 3 grand. My area, the cheapest fulltime daycare is going to run you $1500+/mo. Other areas are more expensive. And you can't just drive out to the country to take your kids to daycare. They're not a 24/7 service. They only open so early and people still have to get to work on time.

subsidizing childcare
No thanks.
My opinion on this is the same as student loans. You signed up for it, not me.

I would say we are a country that lives beyond or means. There is nothing wrong with a wife/husband staying home to take care of a family. One income families was the norm in the 40’s and 50’s, even into the 60’s.
Feminism took women away from their kids and put them into the work force. Instead of living in a 3bd 2 bath 1300sqft house the new thing was 3500sqft 4-bedroom house.
Nothing wrong with that if you can afford it without sacrificing your family values. Meaning taking care of your kids.
We put to much emphasis on bigger and better, when the most important thing is providing for family.
I personally think the 2-income family has been a detriment to society and families.
All this is about 2-parent households. The biggest problem is there are to many 1-parent households and I believe the government is also responsible for that problem.

"There is a childcare crisis. I have to pay nearly $3,000 a month for early childcare. Lots of people these days can’t afford that especially when their groceries have doubled and their wages have been stagnant. I am not a proponent of govt intervention on many things but if we could take the money we’re throwing at foreign bullshite wars and dumbass social programs that promote trans acceptance and put it towards helping get parents back to work by subsidizing childcare, I support it."
There is not a child care crisis. You spend 36K a year for someone else to raise your kids for you and your spouse.
It appears you have a "My wife and I don't want to give up our stuff" to raise our children crisis. Why should hard working Americans subsidize the selfish choices you make? Take a pay cut and be responsible for your family. MAN UP!

I pay $3,500/month for daycare. This just isn’t feasible for many households.

I don't think the government needs to be subsidizing it, but to say there isn't a childcare crisis is intellectually dishonest. IMO it ultimately boils down to the economy. Previously, families could afford to have one parent stay at home so not as many people needed childcare. That's just not economically viable for many people anymore. Most families have to have both parents working to pay the bills. The number of providers has not caught up with demand, hence the crisis for so many young families.

I offer you a compassionate “I’m sorry”. But the govt is not the solution to your perceived crisis. Their involvement will either make it more expensive (though you might no longer bare all the cost) or reduce supply..likely both.
Have you considered simplifying your life to the point that you can afford it more easily? Or maybe you will do what many do, realize this is a temporary part of your life that’s pretty expensive…maybe 5 or 6 years at most. Because I currently have the other end of this situation, college expenses for mine. It costs similar. There isn’t a crisis there either, it’s a choice. In fact it is a luxury much like 3 grand a month childcare for little Jaxon.

It's insanely expensive to have children.

It's also not "my" perceived crisis. My kid is in childcare. We're fine. A lot of people aren't as fortunate,

do you ever get tired of this tired argument you make in every thread about economic issues?
