When times are hard—Big families are logical. More hands to keep things going—even if they must wear rags. What is the old saying? “The Rich get Rich and the poor get children.” The Rich, do not have a lot of kids—they die out. There are rewards to family life that can not be found in other places.
The ONE thing that is a real negative with a large family is the cost of college (assuming a working spouse has health insurance through their job)
But everything else is just scare tactics to get people to have fewer children. It is the same agenda as abortion and many other things. The left is wedding to the overpopulation myth and pushes all these things with lies to attempt to get what they want which is fewer people. But ironically then they complain about the negatives of a shrinking population and then demand unlimited immergration which completely negates any positives that might have been gained.
” The Rich, do not have a lot of kids—they die out. “
And their inheritance (The Rich) goes to the evil so-called charities.
Lots of money to groups that push population control.
There was an old 1920’s song with that line in there! It was called: “Aint We Got Fun”! (1921)
