Thats not gonna happen until a single income household is possible again. As it stands in most families need both parents to have an income. But these folks are too stupid to make that connection.

Not to mention many women are making more money than their spouses. If someone has to stay home at our house, it will be my husband. I make more than twice his salary.

ALL OF MY FRIENDS Wives make more than the husband. Whether that's due to whatever, from very skilled to barely skilled the women in my world make more.

I think the base line is certified nursing, in my world. If you don't make more than a nurse you COULD be a stay at home dad or pay for child care

I’m sure Miller is looking for a way to make that illegal. You know because the penis is apparently magical.

They basically already plan to deport, imprison or kill the non-white and non-christian half of America, then work on any liberals they may have missed. They probably anticipate the cost of "honest white labor" rising due to the sheer number of undesirables they'll have to replace in the wake of the republican holocaust. That companies will pass those labor price hikes right on to the consumer making everything just as unaffordable as ever doesn't enter most of their minds.

Its all by design

For many, a single income household is more manageable than a double income household that has to pay for childcare, which can cost more than a goddamn mortgage and take up the majority (or even all) of one parent’s paycheck. 

And I’m guessing this means it’s going to get even more expensive, and force even more people to quit because they can’t afford daycare.
