Would people really have more children if there was more financial support for it?

Yes they would have more kids.

There's not enough money in the world to get me to do that.

You can only vote on one answer.

Or would the idea of the dangers of pregnancy and delivery as well as the idea of no sleep for two years plus the stress that raising a child entails make people decide to stay childless?

They already get massive basic federal and state tax credits that get them roughly $10,000 a year, per child.

@NativePortlander1970 child care is up to about $300-$400 a week and you still have to supply the diapers. Then there's the fear of ending up as a single parent.

@Tastyfrzz There are programs that do help for lower income parents, like head start for child care.

@NativePortlander1970 need at least $25k per kid. At least for the first two years.
