Huge amounts of debt, low wages and no paid family leave. Golly, I wonder why people aren’t having more kids

Weird that the article doesn’t mention any of those things.

Yeah that tends to happen when you saddle young people with lots of debt, give them few prospects, no social safety net, no family leave, high medical costs for pregnancy and childbirth, expensive child care and generally treat mothers like a burden on society.

Who controls the tuition costs and colleges? Who the F can afford 100k in debt coming out of school and still have enough left over to afford to have a family? This is by design. This is no accident. This has been in the making for 10-15 years or longer.

Three words: Paid Family Leave. Culture is changing and we have to adapt.

How about lowering the sky rocketing costs of education. Kids are coming out of school w a mortgage payment and they have even bought a house!
-
How bout going to school for a relevant degree that can actually get you a job.

There's a teacher shortage in my state, it's not because people are getting "worthless" degrees. It's because the cost of education is too high. I wanted to be a teacher, but the cost of debt vs the money teachers make doesn't come CLOSE to evening out. It's not worth it.

Spot on! IMO, we have regressed as a nation for the ability to achieve the 'American Dream'. Sure, it is still possible and people still accomplish that goal. But, it does not happen at the frequency it did up in through the mid 90s. They dont want us reproducing.. period.

Lowered fertility means less impact on ecology, less greenhouse gases, more time to prepare for or avoid massive climate change, more resources to improve quality of life for existing people rather than always accommodating new ones. Framing it as a negative is just wrong!

@chucktodd help me out here. In one breath you criticize@SenGillibrand for honestly changing her positions and admitting it openly and then laud Mulcabey for doing the same? Do you even hear yourself talk? -
Chuck Todd lost any credibility that he had years ago

Well, maybe because it is expensive to have children. Also because people are becoming a bit selfish as well. Why have children, when they are so much work? We are an instant gratification society now. It takes an extreme amount of patience and self sacrifice to raise children.

Completely true. It's sad to see us give up our greatest gift. Being a parent is the most rewarding experience one can have. Sky rocketing tuition costs make it nearly impossible to afford kids by itself. This is by design, it's no accident.

Why would a woman want to have a baby if it decreases their lifetime earning potential by 30%? We need paid family leave and well paying jobs. We need to stop penalizing mothers

can't afford children when you can't afford yourself

Exactomondo! The cost of college has sky rocketed the last 10-15 years. college grads worry about paying off their 100k student loans postponing starting a family. This, my friend, is by design. Elites are worried that we r over populating the world. This is one of their answers
