giving the student loans of those who are willing to enter into a long-term relationship (marriage) and have children might prove to be very fruitful.
But I would go even further. It seems to me that couples who are willing to raise three or more children should not just have their student loans forgiven, but should be sheltered from all federal taxes.
That is a great story line for a utopian novel!
Your proposals are great ones--not likely to be implemented. Needed implemented a decade or two ago.
Then we run into another problem. Relatively VERY FEW folks--particularly men--are taught how to parent properly. Consequently most kids get older without much rearing or loving and then become dysfunctional destroyers or at least drags on society--too often costing more than they contribute.
I’m not sure how far I would go with it, that is a perfect subject for public debate, but indeed the government could encourage families to stay together rather than forcing them apart, as the welfare programs have tended to do.
