Children = hope

No hope = no children

The problem with endless growth is eventually you run out of labour

If you're careful and plan appropriately, you can get them for free!

Surely a small tax credit will solve this!!

The awful part to me is they struggle to do it, and they at least have several incredible services in place that I think about every month... those are free Healthcare and mostly free childcare. Honestly, if I didn't have to pay $1500 extra a month, I may be doing ok...
