1. Stay-at-home parents should get Social Security credits as if they made $100k

Pure and simple.
every time they do a breakdown of what jobs a mother does, and compares it to the open market, it always eds up to about 100,000 dollars a year, or so.
IMHO Stay at home parents should get credit towards retirement.
After all they're raising our G/D future!!!

Of course I would also over-fund schools, science programs, and barely-fund the pentagon

on Edit, I also think stay-at-home parents should get assistance from the government. It is kind of a wash between supplementing day care and simply allowing one to stay home and care for their kids.
