Young people already in the West might like to have kids as well, if not for the massive looming burdens already upon them in part because of these subsidized social costs, not to mention growing college education debts and home ownership further out of reach. Intelligent people see the looming clouds of everything from a growing national debt to the difficulty of integrating foreigners and recognize that these have costs to be inevitably paid in the form of taxes or bonds&#x2F;inflation. Unfortunately it&#x27;s the stupid people who don&#x27;t see it or don&#x27;t give a shit and have kids they won&#x27;t be able to take care of, only increasing the burden on the rest of us. I&#x27;d like to be able to put away an additional 20% into savings for my own children, not someone else&#x27;s.
