""Household spending is the primary driver for GDP, and people having less children is a built-in drag on economic growth," she said."

Anyway, we have a solution for low birth rates: immigration. And maybe if boys are raised to not need a wife mother, women will be happier in relationships, as will men. That entitlement makes men not worth it.

@CStamp HA! Job portability (is that the right word?) is a GOOD thing for the economy. When it's harder to get people to stay at a company, companies will be pulled to give their employees higher salaries, fewer work hours, stock options, and other benefits to keep them around. This will filter money away from the few top level employees, and down to the multitudinous lower level workers. Those lower level workers are more likely to pump their earnings back into the economy.
