Working women contribute a good chunk of the GDP. At this point not working is not an option, given our debts and future obligations -- e.g. my social security and Medicare <g>.

An alternative system would be generous, state subsidized time off for work during the first one or two years after the birth of a child, followed by high quality, state subsidized day care until school age, followed by high quality state subsidized after school care until high school age.

In the not too distant future, when we hit peak people, we will realize how precious children are. Anybody that has more than two in the current environment is a hero in my view.
