    Ah yes, the conservatives plan to boost the birth rate has finally come to bear a rotten fruit:

    • People can’t afford to have kids
    • People can’t afford to feed kids
    • People can’t afford to shelter kids
    • Therefore they won’t have able bodied kids to keep the retirement and tax doles fulfilled
    • Nor will they have able bodied soldiers for war

    But they’re boosting the birth rate! (they aren’t, actually, the rate will be even more in decline since the replacement rate in the US was held up by immigration like in most countries, and dumbfuck’s actions have brought a stop to that).
