Well either you think they cant be one in the same or aren’t intelligent enough to realize that child care and education certainly are in the same category

Nope, that's just being financially irresponsible. If $250k is coming into a household, and they are living paycheck to paycheck, they were already in serious debt before the current inflation.

Ya we hear a ton about it in the news, radio and social media.

In this study, they are speaking of households that are already established. If a household can't make it on $250k a year, something is wrong. High inflation or not.

Isn’t it odd how some people argue that life isn’t that bad, but there’s a very vocal camp that always has such a visceral reaction to the thought… even if a family unit earning $250k was living paycheck to paycheck and annual $40k childcare costs were the sole reason for their misfortune… why have such a defeatist tone and begin touting abortion as the only solution? Some y’all must either be trolling or live in a perpetual crummy mood. $250k per year is $210k after tax and if a family can’t find a place to live for less than $10k per month, ok fine you win. Life really does suck

A weak shot like "All personal tax breaks?" is too thoughtless and vague to challenge with specifics. That's a rabbit hole. SS is not really a subsidy - almost everyone had to pay into it - or be tied to someone who paid into it - to receive it.

You don’t want to talk about all personal tax breaks because it will catch you most likely. It’s not a rabbit hole but far too often people are fine cutting things they don’t have or don’t use.

On SS everyone paying into it isn’t relevant if we aren’t looking at what they get out of it. It’s all relative and those on ssdi might not have paid much at all, but alas you don’t have a problem with that so it’s just fine
