Child care, though, tends not to be - for the simple reason that there is almost always an alternative to having the child(ren) in a child care center. Care at home.

You can't care for the spawn at home, if you need to work all the time.

Thanks for that link. Some interesting tidbits.

In Figure 1, overall policies regarding childcare, the US ranks 40th, only topping Slovakia.

In several graphs, the US isn't even listed.

In Figure 9, cost of child care, as a percent of income, the cost in the single parent, low income, scenario, in the US is only exceeded by Slovakia, and Cyprus.

So here sits Shinyland: doesn't want to pay for Medicaid, or SNAP, tells people to get a job instead, but won't lift a finger to help people take care of their spawn, while they work the jobs the lack of assistance programs forces them to take.
