Kids? I don't know who in the working class can afford kids...Gas over $3.25 a gallon, food through the roof, affordable housing all but non existent, and health cost/insurance...We wont even mention that....

The only people having kids are basically illegal aliens, that our government is forcing us to pay for, feed, house, educate and medicate.

Not true. LOTS OF middle and upper middle income folks having kids where my sister lives in TN (to say nothing of her previous home in SC).

In my neck of the woods (NJ) there is a trend for more affluent people to have 3-5 kids. I will agree that most "working class" folks that I encounter have 1-2, if any.

We can afford kid and we can afford for me to stay home to care for them.

What we can't afford are new cars, eating out, going to the beauty parlor, expensive clothes, vacations, etc.

Picking priorities.
