Well, that quoted whereever-it-comes-from number probably has a hidden undercurrent. So "the economy" loses $122 billion from moms going home? WHO is "the economy"? Well it's not the parents, because they are making the individual economic decision. Who could it be? The government? A bit, indirectly.... you know, like 15% of it, maybe. Oh right, it's the rich/elites that rake in all the money, and set government policy. That phrase should actually be; "The ultra-wealthy who control all the money and corporations lose 122 billion per year when their underpaid wage-suppressed mothers stop working, maybe we should throw them some more crumbs to get them back to work so we can collect that money back" Where's the numbers about "overworking parents and denying childcare assistance so that people don't procreate, and 'costs' the US economy trillions?"
