If Trump ships out most illegals, if he denies them federal aid, if he truly attacks waste, this will be a drop in the bucket. And I’d rather see our $ go to childcare than any of the above.

I heard an interesting opinion from Alex Marlow on Breitbart Radio this morning arguing that the maternity leave program really IS a conservative principle because government should properly be encouraging citizens to have more babies so the nation can survive.

Marlow suggested that women are waiting until their mid-forties and six-figure incomes before having children, and this contributes to the nation reproducing below the replacement rate. He said that anything that helps families to have children sooner is a good thing.

Marlow did acknowledge that it would make government bigger, hence the conservative conflict, but he felt this was legitimate and necessary to protect the nation's identity as opposed to Italy, for example, which is only at a 1.1% replacement rate.
