Nobody on the planet before 2020 has ever had the stupid, retarded like a kid who eats lead paint, idea that social spending was "infrastructure".maybe we have ALWAYS thought about this wrong though. Maybe that is why the US has consistently screwed women by not offering affordable child care or elder care. If you can get it for free and it 100% supports the whole shebang--why pay for it?

For that matter, nobody on the planet before 1970 thought that the government should be offering "affordable child care". "Affordable elder care" is a little older, it was essentially invented by Otto von Bismarck. Still, not offering one or both has been a fairly standard affair the world over for quite some time: it's unclear why uniquely on the planet America is "screwing women over" for not paying them for something that they could just do themselves by letting their husband be the breadwinner.
