Man Made Global Warming is bologna. The Earth goes through normal cycles of warming and cooling. The reports of our impact on that have been greatly exaggerated. Apparently, for the purpose of rationalizing programs like these.
There's plenty of food to feed everyone. If there's a problem, it is a man made problem of distribution, not production.
So, what's the real motive here?
I think it is very interesting that in America a working man used to be able to support a wife and kids, working 40 hours a week and still maintain a lifestyle, that didn't require "extreme" frugality and "rigid" planning. Nowadays, the percentage of men who can do that is less than 1 out of 4. So, when our rulers lie to us and tell us that we need to lower population growth, I can understand that, because they need to justify an economy, that doesn't enable the natural formation and growth of families. But, what I don't get, is when they take aggressive anti-population growth measure like these. It's as if they've declared war on these people and the only solution they can think of, is "extermination."
You'd think if your goal was to lower the price of labor, you'd welcome population growth, unless perhaps, if your goal was short term, with little regard for the future and of course, for the well being of others and God's blessing. In other words, if you wanted to free up the poor women of India to go to work as soon as possible, then you might see programs like these as a way to achieve that goal. Once the women stop breeding, they go to work. What else are they gonna do?
In America, wages and benefits are getting slashed, while taxes (think things like property taxes and excise taxes on gasoline and inflation) go up, up, up. So, women are pressured to work and men are pressured to give into that. All the while, we're told how "rich" we'll be, with both working and no kids or maybe just one or two.
The new "ideal:" both work and have only one kid. Well, there's no shortage of wealth, like food, it's a just a problem of distribution.
