THE QUESTION
When anyone in power – any rich person, any business superior, any politician, and cleric – speaks about money or economics in general, the first question you should ask is, “Why? What is the motivation? How will this widen the gap between him and those with less power?”
Power corrupts, and the corrupted tell lies to extend their corruption. When any President, any Congressperson, any cleric, any person more powerful than you tells lies, they all lie for the same reason: To maintain or widen the gap between them and you.
THE BASIS FOR ECONOMICS
Money is not the real goal of the rich, nor even of the middle class.The real goal is to widen the gap.
No matter where in the wealth rankings people find themselves, their natural desire is to widen the gap from those having less, and to narrow the gap with those having more. The rich, however, have far more power to widen the gap, which is why the GINI ratio continues to rise.Monetary Sovereignty
The psychological basis for all economics

Unaffordable to the woman who is forced to deliver the baby, not to the government or to the nation as a whole. That's what he means.
