    There are people giving 100% of their paychecks for childcare and the spouse pays for everything else.

    That is a failure of the US and birth rates won’t improve until that changes.

        Low birth rates deplete the work force in the long term. Creates issues where tax revenue is low and cost of social programs and healthcare are extremely high because there are so many people at retirement age and beyond. Birth rates at a minimum should be stagnant.

            So the poor others should do the breeding while the wealthy limit their offspring to preserve more wealth for themselves?
