On Oz and Kennedy saying the US is "under babied":

Nor does MAGA care about:
1) Making sure women survive pregnancy, which includes abortion care.
2) Policies that support families, like healthcare and childcare.
If they cared, then #TrumpsShutdown wouldn't be happening.

A government sinfully subsidized childcare program makes more money in increased wages for mothers and better outcomes for children than it costs. It actually increases tax revenue over childcare costs. They've done it in Quebec. They studied it. The facts are in.

More US-born menial laborers are needed to pick fruits and vegetables, work in meat-processing factories, and so on.
