But, that I have knowledge of, the reality of "family-friendly policies" is always "that's nice, but...". Politicians make a big show of kinda-addressing a few of the barriers to having a bunch of kids. Then loudly congratulate themselves...and walk away. Leaving huge barriers to anyone who's actually interested in having kids.
Starting back in early-1940's America, with minimal family wealth and a pretty modest job, my own parents had & raised 6 kids. And paid for our college educations.
In modern America - considering just the costs of medical care, housing, and college - could anyone outside of the top 1% even dream of doing that?
But, conveniently, there are massive entrenched interests behind the vastly higher modern costs of medical care, housing, and college. Interests that really don't give a sh*t about making "have a decent-sized family" affordable for the 99%.
