If there is a Father living with the child,then she continues to get paid(as long as the birth father is living with the child.)What will we have?

1)Women without kids(getting paid to stay that way.)

2)Women with kids and husbands(getting paid to stay together as a unit.)

3)Less n' less inner-city single parents that don't raise their kids well.

Sounds like farmers paid not to grow crops driving the price of some commodity too low.

I dont know if the Pope goes for this. No, check that, the Pope wont go for this. Or the religious right. And I can see some problems, especially with #2. But it is interesting. I'll give you that.

Scuds' proposal is a bit heavy handed but the statistic that the more education someone gets, the fewer children they have is pretty scary.

Dropouts have more kids than college graduates and it isn't a small difference....Over time, the result is pretty obvious.

Pgardn,
Yesterday over 300 dairy farmers went to Albany to voice their concerns about the current state of farming in NY. Things have never been as desperate for the local farmers and their families.
Regarding your second comment, all I can say is that I can't wait for spring to put in a potato crop. I'll be digging in the garage to find my Mr Potato Head kit, just so I can make one that looks like Potato Benedict.
Lucky for us all that he didn't breed.
