Is parenting better if you get paid to do it?

This is hilarious:

With steep state budget cuts under debate in Sacramento, Los Angeles County supervisors voted Tuesday to push for changes to CalWorks and other government aid programs they said would save nearly $270 million.

Included in their suggestions is a novel proposal: Put unemployed parents to work caring for their own children.

That’s so obvious! If we pay parents to look after their children, we turn them into paid professionals and suddenly all is well. Take that, Charles Pascal!
