[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pay teachers and childcare workers more. They can make almost as much working in fast food but are responsible for the health, safety, and education of your children.[/quote]

Agree this is a core problem- but where would the money come from?[/quote]

The parents.

Parents can afford to give up more of their money from their two sets of income...it is not a societal problem that two income households with kids have to use a good portion of their money for care for their kids. Single person households do not have two incomes to leverage and they do just fine. [/quote]

But then we’ll have to listen to “waaaah waaah nobody wants to work anymore; why can’t I hire anyone.”  The labor market needs working parents. To pretend otherwise is ridiculous.  Think about your teachers, your school staff, your medical providers, your retail and restaurant workers you encounter, your office cleaning staff, your vet, etc etc etc. Now remove just the working moms. Good luck having that functioning society. [/quote]
