Bill, do you buy her "ironclad law of economics?"

Ie: >>"It is an ironclad law of economics that if you want more of something, subsidize it; if you want less of something, tax it. But liberals were shocked and bewildered to discover that when they subsidized illegitimacy, they got more of it."<<

Good, now maybe you can tell me why the American birth rate has dropped while we continuously increase the tax exemptions for children?

There are no ironclad laws of economics, especially when it comes to encouraging or discouraging intimate human behaviors. I'd have thought you could figure that out for yourself.
