The Trump administration is reportedly drafting a plan to put money directly into stay-at-home parents’ pockets.
According to a report from the New York Times, Vice President JD Vance is pushing for the federal government to pay child care funds to moms (or dads) who stay at home with the kids while the other parent goes to work.

Eligible families could get up to $9K per child each year, which breaks down to $750 per month for each kid they have.
Since the money would come from an already existing fund within the Health and Human Services Department, it wouldn’t require Congressional action, either.
The New York Times explained further:
This is what putting America first looks like — rewarding families for doing the most important job of raising their own children, rather than forcing them to trust strangers.
Many patriots are all for it:
However, some folks are critical:
What are your thoughts?
Would you support giving money to stay-at-home parents?
