    Ideal for a young healthy couple with a man that loves Home Depot and a wife that is good with people and bookkeeping.

    I personally know a whole generation of mothers basically making a living from welfare and children. With stern warnings that the father must not spend excessive time in the house.

    It must come down to getting the population down to a sustainable level.
    In India, Sub Sahara and parts of S. America the increase in population is imho alarming.
    The political will is absent so limiting families to 2 children like China is not likely.
    The African and ME surpluses are coming to Europe, which is over burdened already.
    The Catholic Church is one of the major culprits but won't admit it.

    The young should be taught to appreciate the old. Not just rubbish everything they say and then have to re-invent the wheel all over again.
    One way to start a business is for a youngster to find a retired person to partner and learn off them for free !

    If Dump ever wonders where all these illegal and other immigrants into the USA are from, he need look no further than Catholic South and Central America.
    Do the Catholics teach contraception ? No just the opposite !
