Month to month, year to year, it’s hard to notice the subtle changes in costs of living and standards of living, but after a long period of time it’s easy to look back and remember how things used to be.
You used to be able to support a family on a single income. You used to be able to afford medical care and higher education.
It’s often said that the greatest expense that someone will have in their life is his or her home. That’s total nonsense.
Now, I’m not saying it’s not worth it, but the biggest expense most people will have is family, and particularly children.
And after years and years of suffering through pitiful, destructive policies that have chronically made people less prosperous, it’s no surprise that they’re coming to the conclusion—you know, we can’t really afford to have a child right now.
There are consequences to conjuring money out of thin air. There are consequences to destructive policies.
So destructive in fact that central bankers and politicians even have the power to make a population disappear.
