To be honest, childcare is expensive. You can only have so many kids per worker, you need to pay rent for a big space, utilities, etc. In a big city it adds up fast. I'm sure some of it goes to some CEO's Yacht, but even at cost it would be expensive.

The reason it's free/cheap in Europe is because it's subsidized from taxes. Same as universities and Healthcare.

well, yeah. it should be subsidized; that's kinda my point. it's public welfare.
