@DanielDiMartino: "I'm tired of pretending that people can't afford" to have kids. "That's a lie!"
"It's about choice, within even married couples, to just not have as many kids...it's usually because of the DINK lifestyle.
Because of economic growth, actually we're bribing people not to have them. Because the truth is, now we have more choices of alternatives than we did 100 years ago. 100 years ago nobody could go on vacation to the Bahamas, nobody could go on vacation across the country, or had enough income to do anything.
...Today people have more alternative choices, and as a consequence, the opportunity cost of having children went up."
