I actually agree that strengthening "the family" goes a long way to the prosperity of the country. As long as we are all in agreement that any strong family (no matter the make up) is better than broken families then I think we have found some common ground.
We are basically the only industrialized country in the world that doesn't require paid maternity/paternity leave of some sort. We need to make it a universal requirement, as you mentioned no one is ever financially ready this at least give them a buffer to make it more accessible.
Maybe we could just stop promoting abortions and women not getting married because “they don’t need a man”..... that’s the problem..... paid maternity leave isn’t necessarily the Fix. We need a culture change.
Also the wage gap (as little as one there is currently) is there to ensure families have more income when Mom stays home to raise the children.
As for your excitement on my position..... welcome to the party pal, this has been my position forever.
