If reproduction stop, it also wouldn't be a good thing either.





Reproduction is a natural thing; however, I think the real question should be why are these girls getting pregnant by multi different men, who have history of not paying child support, not married, living off gov't assistance with their parents AND not taking care of their children properly?





You can STILL raise children in this society at the means of the low economy; however, the main issue lies in those who do not think nor take accurate planning into consideration.
I had my children before the economy was bad, and I'm planning on having another. While my husband and I do plan for the future and take reasonable precautions, I don't live my life worrying about things that could happen. People survived with children through the Great Depression and WWII. Anyhow, the economy isn't as bad everywhere. In my area, there is a pizza joint in a K-Mart that is only open a few days a week because they can't find enough workers to keep it open. My husband's company has been trying to hire another couple employees (including a secretarial job that pays $14/hr) and they're having trouble getting applicants.
Well, it's nice you THINK it's really all that bad, but in reality, I have yet to meet ONE person who, aside from driving less, is being impacted by this so called ';bad economy';. Sure, the news is telling us all hell is breaking loose but the bottom line is, I haven't seen it. And yes, my husband and I are that crazy-actually, times it by 4 :)





And no, we are not ';rich';, so don't assume anything like that. It's just that we aren't genuinely suffering economically, yet.
The economy is only bad because people have made it bad. By not paying off loans that people agreed to contracts for, the banks are running out of money.


I'm not having a child, but now is not a bad time to have one. People have to be adaptable. My dad is a mortgage broker, and had to close his company that he owned because of hard times. He changed, and instead of being an entrepreneur, he works at the bank on a salary. He gets extra commission when he finds people who are looking to buy a home and would like a loan.


The economy is only effecting people who refuse to change, and try to cling on to a collapsing part of the economy. Lower class jobs are becoming scarcer and scarcer, simply BECAUSE the upper class cannot afford to hire them anymore. The lower class depends on the money and ideas that the upper class comes up with, just like the upper class depends on the lower class to work for them. It's a win-win situation in a country where the only way to go is up!
The bad economy is going to be world-wide soon.





Why do parents have kids during bad economic times? Because money is not as important as love.





Btw, if you have a child during good economic times, there is no guarantee that some disaster - economic or otherwise - won't occur.





All the best.
Who is the economy bad for? The stock market is hurting and the banks are hurting... people who are living paycheck to paycheck with a little extra in the bank aren't feeling it yet... if the government fixes it like they are supposed to, what is the big deal? Worst case scenario the upper middle class gets off their high horse and eats hamburgers with the rest of us instead of steak for dinner. They will survive. Add a little mustard and the burger will be tasty.





Kids like hamburgers better than steak anyway.
Woah there a minute buddy before you go ranting and raving about aconomy this or that you should never call anyone names first of all and second of all if people want to have kids it's their business not yours the economy has been falling and failing since Bush was elected because he is wasting money by sending our men women and children off to other countries and many other reasons but that should not prevent people from having children.Why should american people suffer not having children just because of the economy and especially if most of us have jobs to support our children.If you ask me the only one who needs not to reproduce are ignorant people like yourself.
The economy is only ';bad';, for people that are irresponsible with finances. If you live within your means from day 1....this kind of so called ';economic crises'; has 0 effect on you. Sorry, the extra 10 bucks a month in gas, and milk doesn't hurt me any lol.





We're doing just fine, with me at home with the kids. It doesn't even require a second income! lol....life's about choices hunny....some choose better than others. Just because we made better choices than some people that are struggling....doesn't mean we shouldn't be able to have our kids.
Do you seriously think there were no economic issues when you were born? Regardless of when you're born, the media will always tell us we're on the brink of some sort of catastrophe. That's not a good enough reason to stop having children - worldwide 'turmoil' or not.
Surely if you are planning to have kids anyway, having them at a time when you couldn't get a good job anyway is a GOOD time to choose?





Believe it or not, thre are people out there who don't live hand to mouth, and who don't have kids until they can already afford it.
There has been problems with the economy for a long time and people get by. If you don't think it is a good idea then just make sure you use protection but don't worry about me and my family cause we are getting by!
This is a question that is stupid. I am having my kids because i love them dearly and money isn't an issue the war is coming closer to an end and we can afford our babies . . . . .Shove it seriously.
The economy is not going to be bad forever. And the rough economy is not necessarily causing problems for everyone.



I guess I am crazy enough b/c I'm already pregnant. Don't you worry about me, my household will do just fine!





Obama/Biden all the way!
Wow calling people stupid and crazy is going to insult people. Anyway have you considered that they might be finaceally stable.
The circle of life will contine - whether the economy is up or down, in good times and in bad.....................................…
Yeah, your crazy enough to worry about it.
well i am not stupid because i am a pregnant teen who chose to become pregnant.





i guess i am crazy then
thats why its america---we are allowed to have AS MANY CHILDREN AS WE WANT! it's not like china with its 'one child policy';
