		<description><![CDATA[......and I say it again. Can we please invest in financial and family planning services in order to enable people to plan properly for families. It&#039;s like you are rewarding people for having more children that they can&#039;t afford!  We see it all around us, spending money on unneeded and unnecessary material things instead of saving for their families future or educational needs. You are just encouraging the irresponsibility and enabling this behaviour. More money in the pocket to go buy some $300 pair of sneakers / get my nails done / take a shopping trip.

Long term, this is not helping our community and it&#039;s my taxpayers money that you are using. If you are not in a position to provide for a child yourself, then don&#039;t have one! Your poor choices should not become my responsibility.]]></description>
