I imagine subsidizing children may become increasingly unpopular, but my thought on that is countered by our trend towards increasing socialism.

Something to consider- Children are a necessary part of society because our numbers must be replenished. It is in society's interest that these replacements be equipped to be productive members. I shudder to think how morally corrupt and intellectually bankrupt our society would be if many did not receive a formal education...

That said, I wouldn't miss the absence of bicyclists on my travels.
