That's really no different than the way we fund public education
however, in that the baby makers aren't 100% responsible for the costs,
so they make too many babies.

Or immigrate illegally.Immigrant birthrates are far above citizen's BR's.
The same is happening in medical care.

Come to think of it, I'd be surprised if
the average person would incur 50% of the educ. costs if they had
another child. The burden of disaster costs and its influence on
location decisions might be angelic by public educ. standards.
