JD Vance's Solution to Childcare Crisis? 'Maybe Grandpa or Grandma Wants to Help'

Let me say what we're all thinking: If you make having kids affordable, more people will have kids. If you make having kids safer, more people will have kids. These are the things these idiots don't want to acknowledge.
I'm sorry but is this logic in my right wing politics? Get the fuck out of here.
What I always find crazy is the cost of pre-natal, delivery and post-partum healthcare in the US. Barely any politician talks about it and no parents seem to talk about it until slapped in the face with the hospital bill. Even with insurance it's on average a US$2800 downpayment...
If the US wants more babies, I think fixing this is a good start. Hilariously, a budgeting post on the cost in Canada says it's CA$10-15k but that is the total expected amount to raise a child all the way to 18 years old, which is in stark contrast to the US one looking 3 months ahead at best.
