its typical of a govt plan to give back some of our money. they come up with systems that pay a fraction of a penny on the dollar and expect it to be some magical elixer.
just like shaving the GST by 1%. wow, if i spend even $1000 a month in consumer spending (i dont), that will save me a wopping $120 PER YEAR. woopee ding dong.
$100 per month for child care expenses is idiotic, what kind of impact does he think that will have ? my wife charges $600 per month for a kid to come to her dayhome, so I dont see how this will have much impact for the parents.
i am more interested in seeing a plan that rewards parents who stay home with their kids. the kids are generally better raised in that enviroment and all the govt does is punish those families who dont farm their kids out.
