no, as the original version is slightly different from the published version.
in brief, after using a very conservative estimate, i used the figure of $150k as the minimum required to raise a child to a grad. this means that parents who can set aside this sum of money should not think of having children as they cannot afford it and will bring a life of misery to themselves and their children.
the cost of living demands that kind of money to give a child a normal life. and parents whose nett take home pay is less than $1600 simply cannot afford a child. they could bearly upkeep themselves.
expecting these poor parents to have more children is simply irresponsible. they will be perpetuating a life of endless poverty under normal circumstances.
