Well if she had a "summer" job, she knew it was coming.

I'd say that as a society, we'd be better off making low cost, decent day care more available. That means one more productive person in the work force and fewer unsupervised kids out on the streets getting into God only knows what trouble

Sound reasoning, but who's "We'd"? Organized on a local level, in the neighborhood, in the town, great. But another federal or even state program, no thanks.
Several guys I work with have wives that are at home taking care of related and unrelated kids on a daily basis. It's what the government calls "unlicensed daycare"; it's cheap and it's available. "Licensed" is a euphemism for expensive and unobtainable for those that need it most. Any time the government gets involved, the rules and regulations become a bureaucratic nightmare.
Don't bother bitching about the money they're wasting in Iraq or any of the myriad of domestic pork barrels. That's exactly why I don't want anymore government programs, no matter how well intentioned.
