The planet has plenty of people. He's admitting we need some of them.

I am sure he means more white babies to grow up to be GOP voters. Our nation is not exactly underpopulated, and issues regarding an aging population can be mitigated with decent social policy--but God forbid Congress do its job.

in certain states and in families with specific incomes. Maybe he should say only make female babies (he thinks we are nothing but baby making machines to be used by powerful men).

...For that matter none of the babies will. That's the only thing he cares about anyway.

He (Gibson) ran that same meme about a dozen years ago
I remember Colbert mocking him for it

Very few of them have the guts to say “white babies,” making it even more contemptible.

"RINO" and "cuck" from day 1 of his speakership, so of course Ryan had to cave to them.

take on families. Like the Mormons, more children is more blessed, more Mormons, more Catholics, more conservatives, etc...

I grew up catholic in the 60's. I went to a very big catholic school. (135 in my 8th grade graduating class, so around 1100 in the school)

I knew of about 10 families with more than 3 kids. Almost everyone i knew were 1 to 3 kids.

My still catholic family (including cousins) have zero to 2 kids. The kids are all in the 20's or older.

Now, ultraconservative catholics might still be pushing this philosophy, but catholics themselves quit with the fruitful and multiply nonsense 50 years ago.

Can't speak on the mormon thing, but i think you attribute sensibilities shown by Ryan to too many people. Ryan is a tool and a fool, but i don't think it's rooted in anything other than his own personal, ridiculous world view. He didn't learn that from his church.

BTW: Except for my wedding (in a church for the family) and the funerals of my parents and my wife's parents, i haven't been to church since 1970. So, i'm not protecting the catholic church. Couldn't care less about them.

Many are in government. It's not gone and it's growing. BTW, I'm sitting in a Cathedral as I write this. Not to pray, I'm atheist. Won't say more about that.

Mormons... it's part of their basic philosophy. That's why they have polygamy... and yes, there are many polygamist Mormons, I live in the center of Mormonism. It's not part of their public personna and it was outlawed until a couple of years ago. But it's still around. One man, one wife and the younger sisters go with the wife as concubines. More pregnancies, more children.

And i get the pre-Vat II nutjob movement. But, that's not the preponderance of catholics who have had the reputation of being "cafeteria" types for a really long time. They believe the parts they want to believe, they adhere to the dictates they fell like sticking with.

While i agree with the invasion of these regressive types in Gov't, i still think it's a very small minority. And, unless one is a rich person and is making big money from donors, and a cushy political gig, people won't have more kids they simply can't afford because they are trying to be "good catholics". My sister still consider herself catholic. (Barely goes to church though, so, see what i mean?) But, after daughter two, that was it. The very idea of a third was anathema.

Same with my "brosins" spouse. (Brother is brother/cousin. Cousin who grew up in our house when his parents died when he was 10.) After the son, no interest in more babies. And they actually still go to church, though my brosin works odd hours and he doesn't go out of his way to attend if it's work inconvenient. (See what i mean again?)

Thanks for the reply.

I'm really really sure of it.

have more babies so we can elect people like Roy Moore

Practice what you preach. Don't let the Duggars get ahead of you. Oh, does your wife object?

Which means it's extremely unlikely she would be able to produce more children.

My 44 year-old niece had a baby two months ago. Of course, I realize he isn't talking about himself, just everyone else in the country they're trying to screw.

A miracle!!

I would recommend concubines.

There won't be enough workers to fund the programs, so they will need to be cut...... (wink wink).

those confined in those boxes didn't like them, so modern people rejected both

a boring retirement is a short retirement

I know a guy who is 92 and working, and another who is 85

They don't need the money, but they love what they do, and their careers were begun late in life, 60 or over

Ryan should go sit in a confessional for a few months and wisen up

at your miserable tax plan) so their only alternative in life is to go into the military and fight wars for oil for you and your buddies? Whose advantage is that?

As most people in Asia know, and many people around the world, Japan has a near-to-definite negative growth rate. The Japanese government surveyed women at some of Japan's most prestigious universities and reported that almost three-fourths of the women would take on the role of stay-at-home mom (here's the nub) provided their husband made enough money to support the family and had the job security that Japanese workers had prior to 1997.
Nothing came of it.
I mean, heaven forbid workers should make good salaries and be provided job protections

This is what Ryan either will never get, or does and doesn't care, no money = no medium size family

with their own bodies. It's 2017 and we still have to deal with these patriarchal jerks from the stone age who think women are mindless broodmares.

The proles must have more babies and then impoverish themselves by running up huge debts for their own, and later, their children's education. Both generations can live quiet lives of servitude in low paying jobs due to a surplus of labor. Then they may grow old in poverty and die. Amen.

While climate change and its unfettered march is not a blip in his delusions.

I only wish he would stick around so the iron worker could clean his clock. Alas, cowards run.

Women and men aren't breeding stock. Who in the hell wants to bring children into this nightmare?

But he called them Aryan babies. Ryan updated the rhetoric.

because they think he's too "soft on immigration".

SS, Medicare, etc.

But in the meantime it's a not veiled attempt to bring back sexist and nationalistic values. It's dangerous to ignore that.

Watch him use it as an excuse to say the low birth rate means SS has to go away or get cut.

ills are caused by women not giving men enough sex and also enough babies! Not too many babies if you're not wealthy though, unless you're super attractive! Yeah, that's the ticket. These guys are fucking nuts, aren't they?

I have been lucky enough not to be around too many of them lately though - the ones who think they are nice and sweet...but then expect that to be sufficient to extract sex without realizing they are just highly insecure, introverted (this can make them appear to be “nice” guys initially), and manipulative - faking sweet and nice.

we’re trying to dodge. More and more and more people, it’s like shooting ourselves in the foot...and every other species in the face.

And another thing....

Women aren’t breeding stock.

You want some fucking? Fuck yourself. Again.

We aren’t all Jim Bob and Michelle.

of Jim Bob Duggar.

Gone are the days of dog whistling. Now, it's barking commands.

Who needs Hulu when you have GOP press conferences?

are all about.

Barefoot and pregnant.

where no one can hear me scream ............. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems to me that the problem in America is not that people are not having enough babies. I do believe the Millennial generation is larger than the baby boom generation. If it is true that the Millennial generation is bigger than the baby boom generation than that means some where along the way people had more babies. The problem seems to be that people are not being trained with skill that will allow them to enter the work force. There are supposedly hundreds of thousands of jobs to millions of jobs that are not being filled because there is no one with the skills to complete the task. Paul Ryan should focus on figuring out how to train people in a way that would allow them to take the unfilled jobs. It has been said that many of the jobs that employers are struggling to fill are actually high paying jobs.

Second, you are right. Considering Paul Ryan is not a father of ten or more children he has no right to tell other Americans to have more children. He and his wife made a decision to only have three children. Everyone else should have that same choice.

weekends. time for him to retire and go back to wisconsin.

Barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen! Jesus! What a fool! Repubes need to come into the 21st century!!!

The world has more than enough people: if the Paul Ryan thinks the US needs some more he can introduce legislation to encourage immigration.

I somehow don't think that's what he wants, though - he couldn't guarantee that the "correct" people will immigrate.

Knock her up! Knock Her up!

Simple shit for simple minds!

Punishes families with 3 or more children and he wants to cut Medicaid?

My parents had 8 children and we lived on one salary. Had a house, food and money for college. Now it's adults in their 30's sharing one small place and never being able to afford their own homes. Did I say fuck you in the last ten minutes? No? Then fuck you.

Economically.

Ryan wants to flood the u.s. mkt with cheap labor. People can't find jobs NOW!

so they can train them to be dead soldiers. So said George Carlin.

One of the Nazis’ first tasks was to encourage families to produce as many children as possible. With a greater population, Nazi Germany could flourish as a strong and pure nation. In the time before Hitler took power, the Weimar era, the birth rate was steadily dropping “from 36 births per thousand inhabitants in 1901, to 14.7 births per thousand inhabitants in 1933” (Pine 10). In an effort to change this, the Nazis encouraged motherhood through propaganda in order to sway public opinion.

The Nazi party also enacted legislative measures to insure that the birth rate would rise. All forms of birth control were outlawed, and harsh penalties in the form of fines or death were in store for suppliers. In January 1941, Heinrich Himmler’s Police Ordinance even went as far as to shutting down contraceptive production in Germany (Pine 19). Abortion was outlawed as well, except in the cases of the socially unfit, where it would often be mandatory.

The difference here is the Nazis, offered rewards like the Mothers Cross, programs that helped to raise the children, as well as benefits to encourage families to reproduce!

The criminal justice system is going to need a lot more people to put in private prisons to make a profit.
And to fight wars
Work for below minimum wage

I mean, the rich are way to important to do any actual work. For that you need slaves... er, people.

Non-Hispanic Babies he wants

yup.


.....Furthermore, there’s an obvious solution to the problem that Ryan completely ignores — allowing more immigrants into the country to fill the jobs being vacated by retiring baby boomers. But instead of using his position as House Speaker to pursue immigration reform, Ryan has instead indicated he’s on board with Trump’s hardline anti-immigration positions, including the president’s insistence on spending billions of dollars on a border wall.

We need the labor and cannon fodder.

And refuse to fund birth control or abortion.
They need more worker bees.
Master/Slave plantation society.

My husband and I will have more babies when he can get pregnant. I suspect paul ryan's wife thinks the same.

How? The average boomer has, what $50,000 in savings? That'll last 2 years at best.

That's sort of the price you pay for skyrocketing the productivity and cost of living while keeping the wages flatter than a pancake for 40 years.

My highest earning year was 2002 when I made $43K. If my wages had kept up with inflation, I would be making over $58K, which would be quite comfortable for me as a single person in Texas.

At 48 I have, maybe, CLOSE to 4x after 24 years of working adult jobs. And that's WITH max contribution in funds that, overall, beat the index by 7% over that period of time.

Whoever peddled 401ks as the be-all, end-all for the "Three Prong System" (SS, Pension, individual savings . . . and pensions are an anachronism) must still be living in the 1990s, where you could blindfold-dart-toss a fund/stock and it would return 20%. The math just does NOT add up.

I was my mother's caregiver for several years and that impacted my career. Since being laid off in 2010, I just never got my career back on track, and sank into depression to the point of disability. But, such is life. I did a good job caring for my mom. I have some sense of satisfaction from that. But unless I win the lottery, I will not be financially secure.

The thing is, and the GOP doesn't seem to get this, is that when people can't save enough for retirement, they have to work longer. That means jobs for younger people don't open up as often, so that affects younger generations and we have downward mobility. Those making less than $50K NEED A RAISE. That really will stimulate the economy and savings.
