[Vision2020] Panel Rejects Day-Care Rules

that would be desirable."

Why in an ideal world, it is the just the mothers that stay home?  Why not 
let the families choose, if they can afford to live on one salary, which 
parent stays home?

Why not make it a national/state/local policy to promote much broader use of 
the work from home concept?  We now have the hardware and software 
technology that would allow parts of many jobs to be done at home.  Besides 
allowing more time for parents to spend with their families, such a 
workforce shift would save gasoline, etc.
