We shouldn’t subsidize employers who fail to pay a living wage.

We also shouldn’t put our finger on the economic scale such that it’s impossible to afford having a family unless both parents work.

There’s no such thing as “free”, and every intervention like this has sweeping and widely unanticipated consequences.

Nevermind the question of whether it’s best for child development, for which we have plenty of evidence showing the answer is “no”.

Me? I'm not opposed to it. I think tax-payer funded attempts to increase birthrates in our own population are a good idea. We should be doing more to encourage people to have and raise children.

I'm opposed to weasel words and intentionally misleading people about how economies and governments work. I'm also not particularly confident encouraging people to have their children raised by strangers is a good idea.
