[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If benefits paid for by the taxpayer are used to pay for others' childcare,  then it should only be granted for the first child.  You cannot  have taxpayers continue to pay for your responsibility for additional children.  Plan on  having one child or plan on saving a lot of money for any future children. [/quote]

Why not?  We all pay for the entire education of a child in public school regardless of how many kids you have.  That’s 13 years minimum.  Why does education start at 5 when learning starts from birth?

Seriously, I’m a SAHM but[b] I don’t get why early learning and daycare isn’t regulated (college educated teachers) and subsidized.  We don’t want a dumb populace and the first five years are the most important for brain development and intelligence [/quote][/b]

I agree.  Investing in early childhood education is investing in the future of our country, whether you have kids or not.  The achievement gap everyone is trying to eliminate starts at age 2.[/quote]
