In the eighteen years between birth and HS graduation
, a child needs support from parents of approx.$18
0,000 using accepted figures (food, clothing, housing, etc). Add to that educationa
l and other costs provided by state, local and federal government of approx $200,000. Those costs also don't include "societal " costs like pollution, substandar
d housing, health problems, and more. And, that's before they pay their first "tax" dollar.
Critical anyalysis just proves that it is responsibl
e to undertake population control through community, religious and political leadership
. Just one child less per household equals over $350,000 in resources that could be devoted to improving opportunit
y for the rest; for improving health care, education, and more.
Over a generation that's over a Trillion dollars-th
ink about that!
