Agreed, though I'm a Finn, not an American.

Even here in Finland it feels like the government doesn't want people to have kids, as the amount of support you can get is very little compared to what it was 30 years ago. Raising kids is burdensome and expensive, so even with our social security system I feel like poor people must go through hell when they have babies.

I believe that children are very important for any nation, as they are the tax-payers and decision-makers of the future. Healthy politics should really take this into account.
