Commentary on the USA's Low Birth Rate and the Need For Deregulation

I know that this has affected my mom's business, and probably my wife's music business. Both of these businessess are driven by children as supply. However, a low birth rate is probably a sign that woman are foreseeing difficulty in the lives of potential children that they might bear, such that women are more likely to be less promiscuous, or even have abortions to prevent future lives of hardship for their children. The reasons for this perceived hardship are relative to the debt and other fiscal problems, and in my opinion being careful about having a child or children seems like the best policy, especially since the fiscal worries of a nation gone bust for the next generation are very valid.

 

The best thing that I can see to combat our fiscal worries is deregulation!

On Deregulation and Immigration 2012

1:1  Immigrants never did one thing to harm me. They take away jobs that are mindless and stupid in our harvest of shame. Honestly, Romney has a point, roughly 40% of Americans could be called unnecessary, such that I don't see the point protecting our borders much.

1:2  The border is massive. Too massive, and expensive to patrol to keep people (immigrants) from coming here to take lame ass jobs. Forget about the lower 50%.

1:3  In response that illegals get a free education and that this should  be stopped:  I believe it is about time to gut the public educational system. Parents who can afford it have greatly increased the rate that they are sending their children to private schools. The sad part is that inability to get private education may equate to all publicly educated children being left behind. As someone who qualifies for food stamps, I would imagine that my child will probably be able to get into whatever school he wants through on merit based scholarships. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in the top ten in the state for intelligence on some subject. He wouldn't be the first in my family. My grandfather and his brother both scored in the top 10 in the state of Pennsylvania when for World War II intelligence assessment, and so on.

1:4  Many businesses depend on having illegal immigrants because they can pay them less. The documentation of new citizens need not be that extensive. Really, it should only take an hour or so meeting to make illegals into documented folk. Seriously, if you can get by as an illegal here, we need not spend a whole lot of time educating folks to be citizens in some sort of silly process. Really, at the heart of keeping people illegal is so that folks can be lazy. Essentially, the demand for keeping illegals undocumented is the desire to inflate the dollar by paying citizens more money, and it is completely back firing. No person wins when we raise minimum wage.

1:5  Yes, we can harness the power of cheap labor (minimum wage first inflates the dollar, and makes it harder to hire citizens), and the business model doesn't work in some ways (especially from the economic perspective), but that is because no business except big business can seem to get a foothold in this economy. Many folks hire illegals because it is the only way to get by. In that sense, their business model is not flawed. It comes down to this, "You do what you have to do," in order to survive in this economy if you are a small business. Trying to get rid of illegals is virtually impossible, and a big waste of funding, especially in an economy with a high rate of unemployment. Folks that are documented need to be able to compete over the table. Getting rid of illegals is a poor attempt to get everyone at minimum wage because the illegals will nearly always steal documented folks job from them.

1:6  Fools believe that raising the minimum wage results in the working poor or the working class getting more stuff.  It just means that prices go up.

1:7  The milk is going sour by itself. As time progresses, with the current economic progression, we should be worried more about middle class jobs and not the working poor.
