a ruse. 

OK. Here's the deal. This is a family affair. 

We had one child.

My two brothers had none (God knows they tried).

Al Gore had 4 children.

John Edwards had 4 children (with his wife). John Edwards had one child behind his wife's back.

So here's the way I figure it. Only having one child is a positive for the climate, and should be rewarded as such.

Having more than one child is a negative, and there must then be a penalty - the more ya have, the more the pain here.

Having a child with another via the act of adultery, of course, is the worst of all - Big, Big penalty.

My siblings and I have child credits available. Only having one child is worth $100K.  Not having children is worth $300K. We're in the bank for a cool $700K.

The Edwards exceeded their cap by 3. First offense is $100K. Second is $300. 3rd is $900K (look, I'm being progressive here - and exponential). The illegitimate child is $2,500,000. Edwards gets a credit back because Wade lost his life later in life, although in the real world, the penalty (tax) would have to be paid before the infant leaves the hospital. Edwards is out here a total of $3,700,000.

Big Al is looking at a penalty (tax) of $1,400,000.

My brothers and I, stand to collect  $700,000.

That leaves $4.4 million on the trade between the three families.

The difference here can go to build two massive windmills in the Kennedy's back yard, or they can sell them to other childless parents.

Let's see....putting off breast cancer screenings until 50, putting off prostate screeings indefinitetly, healthcare rationing, death panels, reducing our economic output, giving up our soverignty, and now compulsory birth control. What's next, forced abortions??  What, is this freakin' China or something?Are these Obama media flacks trying to put a happy, smiley face on totalitarian methods??

MSNBC - The Place For Lunatics

CAFFERTY: I mean, from six and a half billion down to five and a
half by 2050, and if we do nothing, it will go up to nine. And at some
point, there’s not going to be enough stuff for everybody.

Come on!  The only reason why "there's not going to be enough stuff for everybody" is because China's under Communist rule, Africa's largely under dicatorship rule and both of those countries aren't able to produce or aren't allowed to produce(hence the starving people of Africa that Bono likes to talk about so much) because they keep killing the farmers who attempt to grow any crops!

China's got so much pollution going on that the farmers there CAN'T grow crops when they try because the farmlands are so messed up.

For that guy to say stuff like this about the population is extremely ignorant!

And then there's the farmers here in America, they're forced to grow corn for the stupid ethanol(dangerous to the environment in so many ways) rather than other crops thus making the price of produce higher. 

Ugh, this sheer level of ignorance is astounding!  They talk about too many people in New York as if there was no other place to live, just like I said in the other post about the canadian moron pushing one-child, there is plenty of land out there in this country.

This administration is very good at trying to destroy this country.  It's been too long already.  And the CNN idiots are helping spread their idiocy like the above.

Thank God I don't watch it anymore.  Thank you Fox News!

Ah, crazy old Jack Cafferty is doing it again.

Someone at CNN needs to force that guy to take his meds.

I posted this same comment a week ago. Did anyone notice how the media all focus on the same subject every week? Sarah Palin trashing, next week its all about the deniers are paid by big oil, this week it is population control. Misdirection by white house surrogates in order to defuse from the actions going on in congress. Power is shifting to the administrative branch away from legislative. Congress continues to allow this, the mid term elections will have no affect at all since congress is making themselves useless. I find it very difficult to believe the entire congress is full of mental defectives. Therefore, they must be in colusion, rep and dems. I'm just saying it looks strange.

OK, lefties, keep your nose out of my womb.

These are the kind of posts that lead me to look for statistics, since intuitively, I don't trust China. So:

According to the World Bank- Gross National Income (GNI), per capita

Liechtenstein and Bermuda are 1 & 2. The U.S. is number 11. The rankings go to 210 with Liberia, Congo and Burundi bringing up the rear.

• U.S. GNI is $47,580
• China, at number 127, has a GNI of $2,940
• Burundi's GNI, by way of comparison, is $140. 

Further: Purchasing Power (PP) per capita tells a similar tale.

• U.S. at #11 has PP at $46,970
• China at #122 has PP at $6,020 
• Congo at #210 has PP at $290

According to http://www.prb.org/Publications/Datasheets/2009/2009wpds.aspx world population is as follows:

• World Population = 6,809,972,000
• More Developed Countries = 1,232,100,000
• Less Developed Countries = 5,577,872,000

Natural increase (births - deaths) per year is interesting:

• World = 82,866,000
• More Developed Countries = 2,083,000
• Less Developed Countries = 80,784,000

In summary, China is signaling that population control is necessary to control Global Warming (and another Mao-loving journalist in Canada agrees) China has the worlds highest population per country, and is quite poor per capita. They have a high poverty rate, and yet more and more we're seeing America lefties looking to China for guidance in both social and economic policies. But, just like the solution for Global Warming -transferring the wealth of the developed countries to the less developed countries- will not solve the perceived problem, neither will population control of the more willing countries while the less willing countries continue to populate out of control. This is such a knee-jerk, eugenics laden argument that's so often used by Progressives to promote dissolving into a Utopian world. Sadly, in some cases, they're actually able to persuade people into complying. But, as with a drug dealer pushing his dope, it is typically the weak-minded and affirmed that buy into this nonsense.

Cafferty, you're an idiot.

then they can no longer force their beliefs on us

 to bad its not a religion, but rather an illness.... 

When it comes to government, its not whether the glass is half full or empty, its that the glass is just to big.

...Melt Down.

It is just that simple, and the concept does not require a Harvard grad with a wall plastered in paper to understand, either.

We were, after all,  instructed to "be fruitfull and multiply."

The inverse of that will result in our demise - at the very least economically, if not in other ways, too.

IMDB profile says

Father of four daughters and four grandchildren. (that's right 4, quatro, whatever japanese is for four, one two three FOUR, should he step up and take matters into his own hands and kill three of his kids to set a good example for the crap he's spewing.)

Recovering alcoholic.

Parents moved to Chicago, where his father worked at WGN. After Jack was born, they moved to Los Angeles.

Parents are Tom and Jean Cafferty, who are both alcoholics.

Has a younger brother, Terry Cafferty.(oh should he kill himself for thecause or should he kill his brother.

I may now be a statistician. . .or a biologist. . .

But, if every couple had at most one child, would not that mean the END of the human race within a relatively short period of time?

Think about it: In one generation, the population of the planet would be reduced by at least half (considering in addition those who had no children).  Another generation, by another half or more.  And so forth.

Bye bye mankind.

If they keep reproducing one for every two of them soon they will not be a problem.

Never could understand the left's view of children, especially with abortion. Abortion has killed millions of potential tax payers and Democrats. Seems like the Dems would want each generation to be larger than the last to finance their Ponzi schemes like Social Securtiy.

But pretty much all has been said, jack!-off-yourself, and only kill girl baby girls, in china,=more-male-soldiers, I'm sure glad that they got rid of that controversial guy Lou Dobbs, we need more hosts,{parasites} like the dirty sanchez.

           I think history shows that something similar has been tried before.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

A simple solution for this old useless fart...

Jack is old, beyond his usefullness, so he should immediatley kill himself. But prior to that, he should ask 3 of his kids to do the same. And the remaining kid should sterilize themself.

Would he do it? Would they do it? No. But like a typical liberal hypocrite, he wants everyone else to live that sort of life. 

Just like Gore with his carbon generation. Just like all the attendees to Copenhagen in their jets and limos.

But don't forget... as that great priestess, Joy Behar said...  liberals have no morals so they don't have anything to apologize for.

and we only have names over 65 of all Americans and we then kill them off.

sounds just about ludacris as yours.what a moron.

you want to clean up the atmosphere.

close all drive thru windows of all kinds-you California bumps close the drive thru and survive.
