The plan, advocated by Vice President J.D. Vance, suggests allowing families with a stay-at-home spouse to receive child care subsidies from existing funds, specifically the Child Care and Progress Fund. Currently, the fund supports millions of families, primarily single parents and mothers, by providing financial assistance for childcare. The new policy would permit one married parent to qualify for assistance when they care for their own child while the other parent works at least 35 hours weekly. This approach aims to promote the importance of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nick-cannon-to-star-in-whos-having-my-baby-spoof-game-show-with-kevin-hart\/\" title=\"Nick Cannon To Star In \u2018Who\u2019s Having My Baby?\u2019 Spoof Game Show With Kevin Hart\">traditional family structures<\/a> while utilizing current government resources. Experts recognize potential challenges, such as fraud prevention and funding limitations, but see the proposal as a long-overdue effort to reinforce families and, by extension, the contry&#8217;s future stability. The article also touches on cultural shifts that have impacted family life and critiques the notion that government should be involved in private family matters.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Should we be paying for parenting? The Trump administration has a plan to incentivize parents to stay at home.<\/p>\n<p>The collapse of the nuclear family is something worrisome to Americans, who understand that a stable country starts at home. Children need parents who care for them and raise them. Women, however, find themselves working and paying for child care or foregoing family life altogether for a career, rather than trying to balance those roles.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/govfacts.org\/long-term-challenges-future\/demographic-changes\/declining-birth-rates\/us-birth-rate-hits-historic-low-what-it-means-for-americas-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GovFacts.org<\/a> reported in August that the birth rate in the United States sits at 1.6 children per woman. That is considerably lower than the 2.1 needed to reach replacement.<\/p>\n<p>Now, through a policy advocated by Vice President J.D. Vance, officials are looking at allowing families with a stay-at-home spouse to collect child care subsidies, according to a report by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/09\/05\/us\/politics\/stay-at-home-parents-subsidies.html?smtyp=cur&#038;smid=fb-nytimes&#038;fbclid=IwY2xjawULkkZwZG9mAWV4dG4DYWVtAjEwAGJyaWQRMUpITzJTdFRZVGxaSEFpejdzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEe3rBOZStc15CuKPzebfXsitFll0AGSvbOK4Jemd8tFZwED2bwFia5COMzCcQ_aem_5xGP0_gs_NrK0eBLuzreDQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the New York Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The program would use money from an existing fund for working parents.<\/p>\n<p>The Child Care and Development Fund is operated by the Department of Health and Human Services.<\/p>\n<p>Started in the 1990s, it helps 870,000 families, of which 80 percent are single parents and most of them mothers, get care for children up to age 13. The New York Times said the fund currently helps 1.3 million children.<\/p>\n<p>The money \u2014 funds are currently $12 billion \u2014 goes to individual states that set an income level to qualify, with some putting it at 85 percent lower than the median income and some at 60 percent. The program spends about $9,000 per child, per year.<\/p>\n<p>A draft the Times viewed says the new policy \u201ccreates the option for a new category of care, parent-based child care, that will allow one married parent to receive CCDF assistance to care for their own child, while a spouse works at least 35 hours per week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, this would be a new path forward in how this country encourages Americans to build families.<\/p>\n<p>We spent too long shaming mothers for being mothers as a form of slavery or an indication of failure.<\/p>\n<p>To be sure, with every legal hurdle the Trump administration has faced, we should not be surprised if there are some here. Fiscally speaking, while the idea is good, it\u2019s a sad state of affairs that we need it at all.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, the government should be out of homes and away from family life.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, a cultural barrage of denigrating families in service of women working away their child-bearing years has led to this. However, for a fiscal conservative who begrudgingly accepts spending, at least it would be going toward a good cause.<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/politics\/articles\/vance-backed-rule-open-child-223752379.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Newsmax<\/a> noted in its coverage, potential fraud is also a concern. Instead of funds going to providers, it would go directly to recipients. That means a lot of vetting should be done to ensure the money falls into the right hands.<\/p>\n<p>That outlet also quoted Joshua McCabe of the Niskanen Center, who raised concerns about funding this policy with an existing pot of money without any expansion of it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExpanding the eligibility without increasing funding would mean more parents competing for the same dollars, and leaving more parents \u2014 particularly single working parents \u2014 worse off,\u201d he commented.<\/p>\n<p>So, this administration will definitely have some hurdles to clear. But this is long overdue. If we don\u2019t have strong families, we don\u2019t have a country.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
