$30k/year is not a lot of money - definitely not enough to raise your own kids on

No, but it does mean that as a parent, if (in this canned example) you are paying $18k/year- while the number initially sounds crazy- nearly all of it is going directly to caretaker compensation, not bloat & largess.
Maybe not, but it's a lot of money for most families to pay someone else to take care of their kids.
