Also people with more money have plenty of children. Elon has like 10, athletes have like 20 floating around. It just that population of “rich” is so small.

    @@henrytep8884 where do you get the stats that support this conscious choice not to have more children because of funding? www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3576563/ This study seems to couter this. Other studies, however, find contrasting results. Butz and Ward (1979) suggest that economic upswings bring about the increased employment of women, making children more expensive during times of economic prosperity. Therefore fertility trends are likely to be counter-cyclical. Macunovich (1996) finds evidence for this expectation in the U.S. The negative relationship between economic growth and postponement also seems to be contradicted by some recent studies. Billingsley (2010) finds that the GDP in Eastern Europe after 1990 is positively correlated with fertility postponement, a result also observed in Hungary for the timing of first birth (Aassve et al. 2006). These latter studies are examples of a broader literature that adopts the economic crisis argument to explain the sharp decline in fertility that Central and Eastern European countries have undergone after the fall of communism. Once again, however, the evidence is mixed. Kohler and Kohler (2002), using Russian data, find, for instance, a negative association between a drop in GDP and TFR at the macro-level, but this finding is not observed at the micro-level.

    It's the opposite. Life expectancy at 65 is currently around 20 years. That's how long most retirees will receive benefits that the young will pay for. Which is what most of our budget has become. Unless the retirement age is raised to somewhere around 70~75 at this point, no one in their 20s today will ever be able to retire at all (or at least receive benefits). Everyone will be a slave.

    ⁠@@davidhoover3347yes that’s exactly what people want. You say these phrases as if they are a bad thing. The reason the top ten happiest countries in the world are the top ten is because they have socialized those industries, because they have put price controls on essential goods and services etc. not everything should be strictly controlled by privatization. This is why healthcare prices have skyrocketed to unaffordable levels, why our food is poisoned. I’ve lived in Australia for a total of three years of my life and I can tell you with confidence that I was far happier living in a place like that than I am here. I want what Australia has for the United States. Im not alone in this regard. I don’t like that they have extremely strict gun laws, that was my biggest complaint about the way they do things. Other than that the country is outstanding and people there enjoy a much better quality of life than we do here in almost every aspect. But go ahead, continue to think of socializing key industries as a boogeyman concept, it will only hold your generation and subsequent generations back from enjoying a higher standard of living.

Just saying, it seems to me that all taxes, despite being different forms or appearances, are ultimately income taxes. For example, sales tax is just another way of getting income. The taxes are all income taxes but try to disguise themselves by using a different name or appearance. The real question is how regressive the taxes are? The sales tax can be better understood as a regressive tax that is actually quite a large amount, almost 10 percent income tax on low incomes. The import tax is added to the cost of goods and services on top of thar, or is not made available in the country at all.

These same “businesses” are charging gov programs the maximum amount possible -no matter what-. The Only solution is to Remove these businesses from Gov programs to get rid of billing fraud.

    I doesnt matter at this point. Even if the fertility rate doubled now, social security would still collapse within 20 years.

At the same time, in the 2030s we'll have so many people taking from SS that the amount of people paying into the program will be insufficient to fund the pay as you go component.

    I once wrote down the estimated cost of having a single kid. With everything we'd need to provide for said kid in the first year. Here's my amounts. Worst Case: $41,600 Likely: $21,300 Held within that amount is just the cost of just giving birth: $6,000--$28,491 Labor and delivery (If you're someone who doesn't have insurance you're looking at like $30,000-$50,000 for the delivery alone) Price sways depending on what assistance you'd need giving birth (C-Section, Epidermal, etc.) So let's say; you'd want roughly $30,000 disposable income set aside to ensure you don't die in childbirth. That amount also doesn't accommodate any pregnancy complications you may have to pay for prior to giving birth because I forgot about that fun possibility in those 9 months. Might be safest to double Labor and Delivery to $60,000 to ensure worst-case scenario pregnancy doesn't kill you either ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (AKA your job firing you for being pregnant; fatal complications, baby on a ventilator, etc.) Seems safest to me to have $71,600 set aside so that neither you nor your baby die in the first year. Oh! But, also, none of these estimates included Childcare facilities and maternity/paternity leave is not one full year. Google says the average is $321 a week. So, after you calculate childcare facilities into this; I bet that number is somewhere over $88,292. If you can't tell; I had given up gathering data on the exact prices midway because it was way out of our budget. Since we'd have to save so much, I was hoping to rely on IVF in the future. But if the AL ruling on embryos spreads; IVF is virtually unavailable because no one is going to provide fertility treatments if they might get slapped with a murder charge. Not looking forward to the 10%-20% chance I get slapped with a murder charge myself for having a miscarriage. TA-DAH! That's how you lost a new generation, Congress 🎉 I suppose none of you guys can do anything to "fix it", huh? It's impossible, right? I guess; best of luck to all us ladies trying to get pregnant in the female-only prison!

    Giving birth can be done completely free of cost. That's how most people in the history of our world did it.

Of course this would accompany a period of chaos, but that's the price we have to pay for ignoring the problem for too long.

    I had a conversation with my mother in law yesterday, she's in her 60's. And no, she's not senile, yet. It was very eye opening to come to the realization how out of touch the boomers/ OLDER gen X. They think my step brother is going to be able to find a house for $800 dollars a month in a place like where you can't find a single home on the market under 250k right now. The average home price where she lives is well above 400k dollars. She's living a reality that doesn't exist anymore. She and her husband had a home built for them by habitats for humanity over 20 years ago. The house cost her 50k dollars. The appraised value of that house today? Over 500k. Outside of people you see on tv and the internet, the older generations have absolutely NO IDEA how bad it is for Millenials and Gen Z.

    Maybe if housing was affordable people wouldn’t have to worry about going homeless. Typically when one decides to have a child, they prefer to be financially stable. News flash….. allowing corporations to monopolize housing has left us in the dirt. It is impeding on our personal freedoms, HOUSING SHOULD BE AFFORDABLE AND NOT A LUXURY. if I could buy a house with my 70k salary, I would be starting my life. But no, I’m living with my parents to scrape by and HOPING some day I can have a family.

    Build more houses. Where do you think houses come from? Old people can't build houses, and we already own ours. There are not enough houses. That's why they are so expensive. If your $70,000 a year job doesn't include building houses, you may well be redundant. Learn to swing hammers. You'll make much more than $70,000 and you'll be solving the critical housing crisis AND your job can't be outsourced to India. Complaining on KZread will not solve your housing woes. Wanna stick it 'the man'? Build a house.

The world owes the USA more than we owe anyone by leaps and bounds. You should really do some research into this matter..as you will find what I said is correct. Now States spend our State tax money… but the Feds don’t spend if any at all of taxes collected .

But it sure as heck matters if the reason for this debt is the US Gov spending like drunken sailers. >You only got it half right. The value of the dollar domestically matters for everyday citizens. The definition of INFLATION is the expansion of the money supply. It sure did expand -and that’s why prices exploded up. And will continue to as the Gov pumps more velocity into the system.

Labor & resources are the only 2 things a nation has & taxes are a tool to keep us working otherwise many people would be independent of work . The national debt is fantasy football. My point about other countries owing us , is the fact that if the US called in it’s debt … it exceeds our national debt by lots .
