It's as though you told your wife "we can buy a house five years from now, if we can afford it." It's not really a promise at all, it's just kicking the can down the road.

Hopefully people can see through this. If you can't afford to promise a tax break NOW, then don't promise one at all. Weakest campaign promise ever.
It's not really a tax credit, it's income splitting, which is far more affordable.
