The View claims that children are unaffordable. We found the study these ladies cited, and to say there are some problems with the data would be an understatement. Today’s show breaks it down.

“Has any advice from the left made your life any better?” Crowder said. “This kind of advice is reflected in birth rates and marriage rates, and our society is significantly weaker because people bought it.”

According to Sunny Hostin, you need an annual income of $400,000 a year to afford childcare. However, this could not be further from the truth.

“It is wrong on a multitude of levels,” Crowder said.

According to Lending Tree, “With average annual costs for care of an infant and a 4-year-old reaching $28,190, a family would need to earn $402,708 a year to stay within that benchmark. However, typical two-child households earn just $145,656, falling far short of what affordability standards suggest.”

This takes into account the claim that parents must use seven percent of their income for childcare, which is how the “study” gets to the $400,000 a year number. It is a bit bizarre, however, that the study did not take into account that over 60% of families have no child care arrangements, that only about 8% use a daycare center, and that 2% take their kids to work.

“They will try to tell you that those people are poor and therefore, they are miserable,” Crowder said. “This is something you really do have to deprogram yourself — this idea that wealth equals better child rearing — that having material possessions will make a happier family. Or that if you don't have a lot of money and you start your family early, you are going to struggle forever financially, and it is not worth it, and it is not reckless.”

The data disproves this.

Lower-income and single households have more kids. The birth rates for married women, part-time working women, and nonworking women are 1.9, 2.3, and 2.4.

“It goes up when you have someone at home with the children,” Crowder said. “You save that money, and you have more control and time with the most important people in your life — your children, and you actually get to raise them.”
