It's not just more babies, Republicans are pushing idea one parent should ditch work and stay at home with the kids [View all]

The White House is working to adopt policies to allow Americans to have more babies, even as it cuts back on federally funded day care.

That’s because they want a stronger family unit, which they argue comes from one parent staying home.

White House staffers have discussed several options for encouraging parents to stay home with their children, three people who have been part of the discussions told The New York Times.

Ideas being discussed include giving families more money for each child they have, removing federal tax credits for day care, and opening up federal lands for home construction. Advocates argue that if families can spend less on housing, more of them will be able to live on a single income.

How about paying them a livable wage you fucking assholes?

Opening up federal lands for home construction? How long a commute will these people have? Have you seen the price of cars lately?
