so on and so forth. So for its supporters, it's being portrayed as this fresh new thinking. But as somebody

who has criticized this line of thought for a while, I can tell you it's been around for a long,

and I want to encourage families to have a lot of children, I'm not the sort of guy, I guess you

would think, would be opposed to, you know, family-friendly economy, whatever this project is.
