The point is.. If I cannot afford the child care I have a couple of
choices 
1. keep the child at home while I sleep (not good)
2. stop working for the extra day (get social security - (I'd rather
work))

Hey! I work.  I pay taxes too ya know :)

ok.. look at it this way.... If I had to pay full price of the child
care - it would cost more that I earn in 3 nights.
So whats the deal here? Is childcare too expensive? Are wages not
enough? What??
I asked for practical solutions and you give me this??

Perhaps you are right - we are not supposed to work. You WANT me to stay
home and suck up more of YOUR tax dollars?
