Tara Grubb, the Libertarian running for Congress against Howard Coble, has a weblog.
Oddly enough, her first real proposal seems more nanny-state than small-state:
Once I am in congress I will encourage businesses to offer a 6 month maternity leave for parents---the absolute minimum nature demands. Companies have nine months to prepare a temp. In addition to this, I will encourage the construction and development of on-site child care. Businesses could enjoy a healthy tax break for participating in programs that work to meet the needs of their families. Local communities would join with the federal government in the investment in their families and their future. Child care would be more personal. Parents would have more involvement--and the niche will be tighter.
Hey, I'm all in favor of strong parenting - but should we really be promting this idea at the federal level?
