Then why are schools overcrowded ? Something is going on when each new school year brings more kids into the system than they system has seats for. If this were following the trend, as you point out, then schools should be getting less crowded with empty classrooms and no need for teachers.
What I'm seeing is just the opposite (and this is across 4 school districts).
It's called budget cuts, usually the schools are the first place a city and/or state take a knife to first because it is harder to see the effects of that right away, it is something that takes time for it to take effect and by then people only ask "why are the schools overcrowded" without realizing it was because of those past cuts.
Are you kidding? A bearded man could never get elected. Now maybe an Amish woman...
It has been since William Taft since we have elected a president with a mustache, and it has been since Benjamin Harrison since we have had a bearded president. I would totally vote for someone for president if they grew out a huge beard.
If banks paid decent interest rates for savings, and there was no inflation to devalue the money in savings, fewer people would need Social Security in the first place.
Then we wouldn't have to worry about birthing the right number of new workers to pay into it.
We already have a new baby boom. Foreign parents are giving birth by the speed of light on our soil. Hispanics in particularly and many from illegal alien parents. So this is a good thing? How so? Americans are giving birth at replacement levels. How much population growth do you think we can absorb especially since we don't have a healthy economy, jobs and resources?
Another baby boom generation will just put us where we are now struggling to pay out SS benefits when they become the elderly.
