As a father of a one year old, this topic is a pretty sensitive one for me.
With all of the doubling and tripling of food an energy costs (yet no official inflation, yay!), yet steadily declining wages, record credit card debt, and record student loan debt, when will the breaking point be?

The cost of raising a child has gone up, yet the results of raising children have gone down. This is proof that no one should have children.

Things will change when people realize that they alone have the power to change things.
This isn't some grand conspiracy it's the nature of reality in modern times. People need to wake up and remember what it is that they once accomplished. Stop living in fear and embrace the good and bad that comes with great upheaval and change.

I know I thought it was bad having 1 child. I have 3 now. It actually seems to be easier with 3 kids than it did with 1 kid. I know it sounds weird but maybe its because I adjusted my spending and everything accordingly. I have never really suffered or felt the pain of the economy. Somehow I manage to get raise after raise. In the past 3 years since I've had kids I've gotten almost 7 dollars in raises. I know its a taboo subject but I always give thanks to god for the grace the blessings he has given to my family.

7 dollars an hour :P and surprisingly enough I've passed on 2 other promotions to management that I could have taken and that would have given me a bigger raise.

Well to be honest no one is going to fix the world. It cant be fixed. Even as a Christian you cannot make the world a better place and its not our calling either. Our calling is to spread the good news and to snatch others from the fire. Only Jesus can fix the world.
Oh inc hate and flames and other atheist hate speech

I'm going to college now, but in all honesty most of the people I know that have degrees, it doesnt really seem to help. The employers that I speak to would prefer experience over degrees. Or just a general easy going attitude. One of them told me, I dont care how smart you are, I can teach you (this job) as I can with anyone. Id rather you get along with all the guys here.

That is the reason I gave my wife, my reason for buying another anodizing company is the challenge of rehabilitating a bankrupt company.
