you’re right. elizabeth warren actually gave a conference presentation on this before she ever even got into politics. but also the 1% shitting their pants over the declining birthrate is all about money. it doesn’t matter who’s spending the money to raise a kid (parents or taxpayers), all that money is going into someone’s pocket regardless. and consider that all the food, clothes, dr. appointments, medicine, gas, etc etc that is consumed just by one kid–that money isn’t spent if the kid was never born
