I am not sure if I should be putting ideas in people's heads but this story from Thailand made my morning. It seems that some candidates in that country are in for some stiff justice after handing out Viagra to older voters.There just may be some public policy uses for the magic blue pill right here. I wonder if a little political Viagra might help lift the performance anxiety of the official opposition in this province .
Our premier might want to consider giving couples free Viagra to assist in his mission to increase our birthrate. The $1000 incentive is a good start but what about daycare, tuition, clothing costs and the cost of a mortgage for the new house with the extra bedrooms.
According to the home economics section of Manitoba Agriculture, "the basic goods and services necessary to maintain physical and social well-being" of a child from birth to age three cost $37,000. From birth to nine years costs $91,000, and from birth to 18 costs $154,492. Of course, actual expenditures will vary depending on income, goals, values and choices, but the Manitoba Agriculture estimate provides a basic benchmark.
"Gonna need a little more than a blue pill and $1000.00 to get me reproducing", says one of my co-workers. You think!
