Solution = Problem

In these troubled financial times people are having to scale down a bit on their entertainment budgets.

A favorite 'free' activity? Sex. The shocking news is that some people did not choose it as their favorite free activity.

A YouGov survey of 2,000 adults found sex was the most popular free activity, ahead of window shopping and gossiping.

The Scots were most amorous with 43% choosing sex over other pastimes, compared with 35% in South England.
With this solution to the entertainment budget crisis comes a problem. People may start off with the notion of fucking and only later find out that they were procreating. In a budget crunch, the last thing they need is another mouth to feed.

When people feel financially secure and are well educated, they tend to have fewer children. We are at a point in the United States where the education system continues to be ranked lower and lower on the international scales and suddenly people are a lot poorer than they imagined. (Most of them really had imagined their wealth.) Looks like we are ripe for an ill timed baby boom.

Good! Lets breed some little bastads to get in the work force. Then by the time I retire there may be a few pennies of social security left for me since I have had to pay into the shit ever since my first paper route.

Now if we can just do something with the old farts eating up the resources.
