New Family Planning

Barack Hussein Obama could do Orwell or Aldous Huxley proud. He has an ambitious energy policy involving cap and trade. He has taken or is taking the automobile companies. He wants to "green" America as part of the stimulus package. This transformative approach is holistic in scope. Obama has reversed welfare reform, started by Reagan and brought to the fore by the Republican Congress under the somewhat reluctant Bill Clinton who signed on with gritted teeth. Obama favors the broad amnesty approach to immigration reform and mostly is willing to relinquish sovereignty and have more or less open borders. I have often heard and seen as in the case of one of my neighbors, that there is simply no way they can survive with a "green" vehicle. They have seven children and require a large SUV, minivan, or church-type van just to go anywhere as a family. Such practical considerations rarely enter an environmentalist politician's mind. So what is the logical outcome of subsidizing unwed pregnancy anew, rewarding illegitimacy with AFDC and ever increasing welfare benefits, and having an influx of unskilled Latin American and Mexican migrants to take menial jobs and leech the system? Extreme growth of the most dependent population-with those carrying the water for the nation ever more aggressively burdened to support the parasitic dole dwellers. The large productive families will not have to worry about transport though with the ever growing lower classes, there will be a push for something akin to China's one child policy, particularly with such a friend of the abortionist in the Oval Office as Obama. The poor could not fairly be expected to limit the scope of their birthrate without the rich having to make a similar sacrifice in the size of their families. After all Obama wants to ensure equity, fairness, and equal outcomes. Besides a large Catholic family like my neighbors could never fit into a government-mandated smart car-so the obvious solution is limit the family. Why, even Jonathan Swift would be proud.
