No it isn’t. My Mom stayed home to raise us, and my wife did too. None got welfare or a $8K credit to do that.

The way your question was formed, it appeared to equate stay-at-home moms with welfare queens.

Explain what the difference is between “stay at home” moms and the welfare leeches that spit out a puppy every year and never work a day in their life?

Absent other context, this question reads to be demeaning to stay-at-home moms. If the substance of your concern is that the other poster's suggestion of giving stay-at-home families a tax break is functionally welfare, perhaps you should have mentioned the words "tax break" in your question.

As written, I do not think your sentence means what you apparently intended.

If a family member started talking and acting like Joe Biden, I’d seek professional help for them. I have no idea why ANYONE on the other side would vote for someone who seems so obviously disturbed. TDS?

I just don’t think other taxpayers should pay for anyone else’s choices to stay home.

We have a $2000 per child child tax credit. Most of it is refundable, so if you owe $1000 and have one kid, you get all your taxes AND $1000.

We also have child care tax credits. Already. $3000. Not enough to fully fund child care. But pretty generous given other people are paying for someone else’s kid.

We actually agree, and mine is also a stay-at-home family.

Thank you for clarifying your intended meaning.

Yes that’s correct. Clear up the URI and the dementia clears up. I’m sorry to hear of your experience. You’re lucky. Real dementia however is irreversible. Once the brain begins to die there’s no coming back. My mother went fairly quickly from Alzheimers and it was heartbreaking. I’ll tell you this, if I’m ever diagnosed with it I’m not going to sit around in a nursing home waiting to die, if you follow my drift..

“TDS””. Quite possibly. Someone here noted if Biden gets in he'll be a shell controlled by someone else. If you follow the trail of what this morons son has been been doing and with whom is not hard to figure out. If that clown gets in we'd better all start learning Ukrainian.

> “Why should I have to pay ...”

You’re not paying anything towards someone’s tax cut.

That’s a GCE (gross conceptual error) on your part.

Birthrates are near zero. It’s in the national interest to encourage mothers. Without a crop of children, the nation follows a slow suicide.

France allows a couple with three children to pay ZERO taxes.

Hungary pays a couple 30,000 per child.

We have near zero birthrates.

Not only do we need mothers to have more children, we need mothers comfortably at home, dignified as mothers, and not hauled out to the workplace because the bills can’t be paid otherwise.

Sixty years ago America had it right. Today it’s crap.

He must have that magic want Hussein talked about. Aren’t there only about 330 million total population in the entire U.S.?

New campaign slogan. Win one for the Gaffer.

Other campaign T-shirt ideas: Senility is overrated. Biden, the feel-good candidate. A Gaff a minute.

You'll enjoy this anecdote: When I was substituting, one experience was a three-day assignment in an ESL preschool class. It was supposed to be full day. The immigrant parents REFUSED to let their children stay for an afternoon nap after lunch, and they all brought their children home at 12:30. They weren't real fond of the school providing packaged breakfast and lunch either, and got better quality with ethnic and religious restrictions.

I give those immigrant parents credit. The ones I encountered didn't move to the US to cede control of their tots to the gov. The problems start when the conditioning changes what they accept.

I agree. I’d strongly prefer tax breaks to help stay at home moms instead of subsidizing the 2 income family.

Of course - because to the liberal / socialist / communist / Demonrat, she is not being productive for the State. Pathetic and sickening.

Yes, Biden later clarified that he was referring to all the 720,000,000 sniffable Corn Poppers in China.   (Or was that Africa?)
