For the record, I am a conservative who thinks that McCain is too liberal. Honest. But I am calling for finding a way to support mom's taking off a year to bond with their children. I do not know how it could be done, but I know that it should be done. Poor bonding in the first year sets children up for a bumpy ride that is expensive for the rest of society. It makes children's brains defective, and much of the damage cannot be undone. That is the science and truth of the matter. It is hard and harsh and literal.
I have no idea about how to make this happen, but I know that it has not happened for decades and the populations that had less time for mom to bond with the child before she went to work or the child went to daycare suffer while the populations that found a way for the infant to have time to bond thrive. The children of the former are addicted or incarcerated while the children of the latter work and pay taxes. That statement was simplified and overstated, it does not apply to specific individuals, but it is true in the general population when groups of thousands are considered. Sadly, bitterly true.
I cannot figure out the details, but I know the science, and the science says that this is crucial.
