My point is that many middle income folks cannot really afford children based on rising costs of education, medical insurance, job insecurity and on an on. So yes there is an interest here that the private sector just cannot address. I support social security for young families who bust their ass to raise their families and thus preserve the human race or at least our piece of it. Money spent on parents and kids will has great value for all of us. Do you vote against bond issues for new schools too like so many elderly do? Again i am not for big govt--am for effective govt. And there lies the basis of my call for a third party that can pull in the extremes and that is YOU and some WELL meaning DEMS who are not captives of the socialist mantra. Mike PS Nothing personal in my criticism here.

<<Have the kids you can afford to raise. And hold off having them if you can't.>> An ideological response but not close to reality. It does not address the problem of when a single or family Wallmart worker cannot afford preventative medicine but the government picks up corrective medicine in the ER. I fear a government managed solution to minimal health care, I hope we can force all business to somehow or another provide minimal preventative care coverage.
