Thank you, Dr Jackson -- well done, especially by way of illustration with the Pill.
There is something inherently wrong with the tuition bubble -- whether by design or accident. The end result is the destruction of the family.
Some will say, 'For many years, Europeans have married later.' That is true, although I'm not sure why, as we are only now getting our own tuition bubble, still much less that what it is in the US.
On the other hand, faithful Calvinists will say, 'Who cares? Start a family now! Why wait?' See journalist Robert Stacy McCain here:

This is a dilemma.

Very funny, but sad just the same. Here's a cartoon and article along the same lines. Ironically, just as Australia was a debtor's colony, America is turning into a debtor's country, and an open-air debtors prison:

Anti-Dowry: Burden of College Loans on Graduates Grows, By TAMAR LEWIN, April 11, 2011:

snippet: In some circles, student debt is known as the anti-dowry. As the transition from adolescence to adulthood is being delayed, with young people taking longer to marry, buy a home and have children, large student loans can slow the process further.

A liturgical vestments seller that caters to the Ft. Wayne crowd has picture of Ft. Wayne's famous Byzantine Christ mural as his Facebook picture, and now he's selling stoles with Eastern Orthodox crosses "for the people that are taken by that style." I've mentioned before that I think the whole Eastern Orthodox orientation of some Ft. Wayne grads starts with the mural which shows Christ as a Byzantine emperor:

This is an Eastern Orthodox Cross - budded for the people that are taken by that style and it has an ancient history of meaningful detail. As usual if anyone has comments to improve on the designs please don't hold back I can learn from them all.

Washitonian female journalist with one kid slams Republican candidates for having too many children. Santorum has seven kids, Romney has five, and Ron Paul has five. Ironically, she didn't slam Gingrich for divorcing two wives and marrying a third. Michele Bachman fostered many kids, but I don't know if she has any of her own. Sarah Palin had five kids maybe:

WashPost's Miller Slams 'Smug' Romney and Santorum for Their Large Families, By Tim Graham | March 03, 2012
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tim-graham/2012/03/03/washposts-miller-slams-smug-romney-and-santorum-their-large-families
Washington Post religion columnist Lisa Miller has one child, and she seems quite smug about it. She thanks God “I live in a time and place where I can get up every morning and go to work, and with the money I earn help feed and educate my child.” But in her Saturday column, the slams the Republican candidates for their “smug fecundity,” that they turned their women into retrograde doormats who make babies.
