Now that’s either a good deal or a lot of wasted tax dollars. I’ll let you decide.

And another question: Does this help or hurt families?

Sure, it’s nice to have resources, especially resources invested in families.

But… is it a good then when government benefits become the determining factor on whether or not many families decide to have children? (Yes, I am insinuating that in some cases this is true… but not all cases by any stretch)

Is it a good thing when families begin dropping their children off at six-weeks of age for strangers to raise daily from 7am to 6pm? (And yes, I am insinuating that though this does not represent every case, this is common).

It makes you wonder…
