How about we fix all the other problems created by liberals so a parent can actually stay home and raise the kids. Then you don't have to pay for daycare and the kids will be better off, neighborhoods and communities will be better, etc. That's probably racists though because the liberals destroyed the family structure of poor people.

My wife stays home to rear the children. We're fortunate that our tastes allow us to live on a budget of my salary, but we also gave up things that we had to in order make it work (like our Jags tickets). In a society designed to squeeze every dollar your earn right out of your wallet that's a very difficult thing to accomplish. We also have this idea in our society that it's not fair if a recent high school grad can't afford a new car and 1,000 sq foot apartment on his or her own. Previous generations struggled for those things, but now it seems an entitlement.
