Caught part of the show on Sunday about the decline of births in the U.S. and the idea to compensate for having children. Countries in Europe are in danger of losing their heritage due to immigration and low birth rates. Wasn't able to listen to the whole show except caught Alan's idea to pay "families" to have children. Children are a blessing but in order to take emotion out of the situation there are several things to be considered. Paying stable, self sufficient "husband/wife" families is an interesting idea though pretty far fetched. I think is more important to consider compensating some people actually not to have children. If a person or family cannot support children without any type of public assistance they should actually be paid not to have children, otherwise you continue to promote the welfare and public assistance that is draining this country's economy and its values. This may seem politically incorrect, but just having more babies is not the answer. The good lord gave us all reproductive organs but that does not necessarily give people the right to bring life into the world that someone else will have to support. Alan, I know it is a show, but try to address the down side of some of your own issues instead of just hammering your opinion home.
