Cuckoo...cuckoo. What is more insane, is the fact that this guy is still considered a possible GOP presidential candidate. Says a lot about the GOP's potential offerings, and likelihood of success, in the next election.

Twisted. There's plenty of immigrants in our nation who wish they were considered US citizens. Does it make a difference if they're born and raised? The world is running out of room and resources.

KK,

I actually saw that definition when I googled Santorum. Funny!

Read the book "Freakonomics", and one of the ideas they explored was what effect abortions had on the crime rate.

Apparently homocide rates in teens had been steadly increasing over time and they were concerned that in the early 90's it would spiral out of control.



Levitt proposed that the increase in abortions in teh early 70's did away with unwanted children, and that possibly these unwanted children would have contributed to the increasing trend of teen homocides.

I don't either agree, nor disagree with Levitt. I find his conclusion interesting. Other economists have had issues with his finding, as well. But then again, economics is part science, and part guesswork.

I would say that increasing longevity and lower death rates would be more of a contributor to lower amounts of funds, as would higher unemployment in recent years, and underemployment (lower average incomes for those still working), which leads to lower contributions of workers over time. To place the blame squarely on abortion is pretty whacky. It might explain once part of the projected funding over time, but there are many factors that need to be weighed, not just one.

Unfortunately in life, there are few contants, except for change.

I googled it, and that's what it said.

In other words, isn't santorum the same as gaym fishin ?


You should have been aborted, the world would be a better place.

Seems to me we've got several tens of millions of workers already that are all growed up and ready to work, but there aren't jobs for them...perhaps Man on Dog should concentrate more on putting those people to work, than worry about the workers that haven't even been born yet?

I dunno...I'll admit, I'm not an economist...but that seems to be a bit more of a pressing issue to me, one that would result in lots of taxes being paid into the sytem, too.

Fish on...

Todd
