And the people CHOOSING to pay $1,500 a month have other options rather than pay that much and never had a gun to their head when they decided to have kids. Since responsible people would have looked at all the costs prior to unzipping, the cost of childcare was never a surprise and these people would have factored it into their budgets.
Onealternative is that one parent stays home. But that also assumes that the second parent isn't forced to work because of the ####ty financial skills the majority of people seem to possess.
