Maybe not a popular opinion but I firmly believe that the state needs to use the parent's tax money into protecting it's newest citizen by providing generous paid time off to its caregivers. Lots of states in Europe do it successfully. The US implements some sort of social Darwinism in which the more well-off kids get either more facetime with their parents or higher quality care.
