I think the thing that short sighted folks on this subject are not recognizing is that without daycare subsidy and other child based government programs, it is the child who will suffer, not just the parent.
playfelt, I am so sorry that your daughter is not receiving the funding that she needs. She doesn't qualify? That seems bizarre to me based on the details I've read before.
I also want to say that I have no idea who these people are that all of you know that can afford to swan off to the Caribbean on a welfare cheque. I have encountered the wonderful world of social assistance, and the people I know who needed it could barely purchase substantial groceries, let alone lavish vacations and weekend parties. One friend in particular that I am thinking about received enough for a room in someone's home and groceries for the month. There were NO extras.
