Australia Paying Citizens to Procreate

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Facing a falling birth rate, the Australian government has a simple message: Go forth and multiply. It's prepared to pay new parents who take up the call.

"Come on, come on, your nation needs you," Prime Minister John Howard said Wednesday, when asked about a one-time $3,000 Australian ($2,100 U.S.) payment for all new mothers announced by Treasurer Peter Costello in the annual budget.

On Tuesday night, a smiling Costello urged reporters in Canberra: "You go home and do your patriotic duty tonight."

The father of three suggested that two children per couple wasn't quite enough to combat the effects of an aging population and declining birth rate in this sparsely populated nation of 20 million.

"If you can have children, it's a good thing to do. You should have ... one for your husband, one for your wife, and one for your country," Costello said.

A whole lot of the western world is heading towards this predicament. It's really interesting. Not long ago people worried about non stop growing populations. Now certain countries are worried about the opposite.

Before I ever got married (and divorced) I though about having 3 children

One Boy
One Girl

and one Vick

I've since decided that one Sebastian is enough

I was going to have 4:

1 - Gets spoiled (I now have proof of this <_< )
2 - Each is a favorite of a different parent
3 - Two are favorites of a different parent and one gets left out
4 - Two are favorites of a different parent and the two who are left out can hang together

I have two different friends who have 7 kids each and several who have 10+ siblings. I think big families are great
