Nothing more selfish than subjecting 10 of your own children to poverty in the financial crisis because you didn't want to stop you from being responsible.

Okay but the kids born during the Great Depression did live a better lives than their parents (New Deal policies, post war boom, 50s America) so I don’t see what your point is.

Did they know that was going to be the case when they had the kids? Absolutely not. Similarly, who is to say kids born now will have a better future? Maybe they will, but we can't be sure of that.

Okay so then the whole “having kids to give them a better life than us” thing doesn’t make sense because you’re saying there’s no way to know whether they will have a better or worse life.
