[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, pp, the countries priorities include starting wars that are useless without an exit plan, paying bonuses to bank ceo's, etc etc etc
I think we should invest in our children.[/quote]

I think we should invest in our children, too. By keeping businesses solvent so that their parents will have a place to work. Paying mama for 6 months of maternity leave [b]because she's feeling stressed, tired, and not sufficiently bonded is foolhardy[/b], at best.[/quote]

this is non-sense. the pay is for the mother to spend time with her very young child, not because she is stressed but because the child needs her. in a vast majority of cases, the work can wait (and prudent women would do the work which can't wait). it can wait in germany, sweden, canada... - all countries with much better fiscal situation than the US.[/quote]
All those countries have lower birth rate than USA. SO we are doing something right because our lack of paternity leave isn't stopping anyone from having children.[/quote]
