No. They just wouldn’t exist.
You are ASSUMING the average young person views family as the highest calling. They don’t now. And they don’t realize it until later in life.
At the end of the day, More men would retreat to incel life or use contraceptives and more women are being RAISED to not depend on men. And guess what? Paw paw and maw maw are now the same way. Family would not be worth the headache to even start.

Wrong.
If they did, they would be having more children.

Well, I would do that, and we're sitting down, and I was, somebody, we had Senator Marco Rubio, and my daughter Ivanka was so, uh, impactful on that issue. It's a very important issue. But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I'm talking about, that, because, look, child care is child care is. Couldn't, you know, there's something, you have to have it – in this country you have to have it.
But when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of numbers that I'm talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they're not used to — but they'll get used to it very quickly – and it's not gonna stop them from doing business with us, but they'll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country. Uh, those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we're talking about, including child care, that it's going to take care.
We're gonna have - I, I look forward to having no deficits within a fairly short period of time, coupled with, uh, the reductions that I told you about on waste and fraud and all of the other things that are going on in our country, because I have to stay with child care. I want to stay with child care, but those numbers are small relative to the kind of economic numbers that I'm talking about, including growth, but growth also headed up by what the plan is that I just, uh, that I just told you about.
We're gonna be taking in trillions of dollars, and as much as child care, uh, is talked about as being expensive, it's, relatively speaking, not very expensive compared to the kind of numbers we'll be taking in. We're going to make this into an incredible country that can afford to take care of its people, and then we'll worry about the rest of the world. Let's help other people, but we're going to take care of our country first. This is about America first. It's about Make America Great Again, we have to do it because right now we're a failing nation, so we'll take care of it. Thank you. Very good question. Thank you.
I asked Chat GPT to summarize these ramblings:
quote:
Here's a summary of the incoherent ramble:
After being asked about specific legislation to help with child care costs, the speaker pivoted to a vague discussion about taxing foreign nations at high levels, claiming that these taxes would bring in so much revenue that they'd easily cover child care costs, which he views as relatively small. He also touched on eliminating deficits by reducing waste and fraud, promising massive economic growth that would make the country "afford to take care of its people." He reiterated his "America First" stance, claiming the country needs to focus on itself before worrying about the rest of the world.
In essence, there were no specific solutions or policies for child care costs, just broad, disconnected talking points about taxing other countries and reducing deficits.
Is it just me or did he say that we were going to tax foreign countries and then we could use that money for child care? Did he advocate for the government paying for it? Or did he just ramble because he didn't have an answer? Can someone help me out?

What is wrong with what he said? Why do people believe they have to run to the Government for everything they can't afford.

He didnt mention government spending as the solution. That pisses the Progs off.

The real answer is if inflation wasn’t kicking everything’s arse couples could afford for mom to stay home and nurture their child as was intended. For single parents the bang for their buck would be greater and with financial discipline they could more easily budget childcare.

Take the funding for Ukraine and give it to OUR kids

Good child care has always been expensive.
How do you propose a VP should lower the cost of child care? They’re fairly highly regulated, almost always small businesses.
In a fair number of cases family may possibly be able to help out.

Between 1990 and 2024: Day care and preschool experienced an average inflation rate of 3.86% per year. This rate of change indicates significant inflation. In other words, day care and preschool costing $20 in the year 1990 would cost $72.47 in 2024 for an equivalent purchase.

So daycare (w/o supplement) is slightly more expensive today.

The fellow you nonsensically abhor simply said expense for childcare supplementation was basically inconsequential compared with its cost, ROI and with the revenues he'd raise with tariffs.

And why do you think that is? It couldn’t be because the policies in those cities foster better economic development and do a better job providing their population with the social welfare and services they need?
That's where all the section 8 Housing and their parole officer are?
After these past 4 years you have to be a full on 'Tard (TM) to try to sell our decaying, impoverished and crime ridden cities as centers with "better economic development".

Melt snowflake melt. Since when does having your family help raise a child out of touch. I guess he invented the saying “it takes a village”. He’s basic answer, because you are obviously WAY to slow to get it is this. Stop throwing money at every problem and let’s fix it with sensible solutions.
PS also who caused the inflation in everything????? You liberals make this shite too easy. Dear god how dumb yall are.

When I don’t drive by the daycare and don’t see a line of Tahoes and Sequoias then we can talk about it.
