It truly is obscene how anti-children the US is. We paid $13,000 out of pocket WITH healthcare insurance for each our births (since we never get close to hitting the deductible). My wife didn't get a single day of paid maternity leave (either legally through the state, or from her work). Then, once they were ready to go to daycare that's $2,300/month per child.

This is why Americans shouldn't have children. The government doesn't want you to (as proven by its policies), and those policies are presumably the will of the electorate.

If you want kids, move to a country where the government policies actually encourage this.
