Economic "growth" is just an illusion few people benefit from. This fantasy people are living in of how great the economy is is about to wreck, it's the next economic recession. All the people that have kids to feed will be the first to know how "great" the economy is.

That's because they had kids they can't afford to support. Foolish choice as that's a multi-generational poverty trap.

The reason Muslims out number the rest of us. They do not believe or practice birth control.

Your comment has no relation with the point I was making. The economy is about to enter another recession because of rich people who ALWAYS want more, and you can only conclude that poor people shouldn't have children.

Unless you wish to be slung back to the 5th Century, thinking damn, I was just expecting the 1950's.

Rich people have their money invested in the economy, so when the economy does well, it increases their wealth. People who have kids they can't afford to support have nothing invested in the economy and therefore do not gain. They just foolishly opt into a multi-generational poverty trap, instead. That's no one's fault but their own.
