the usda admits there is a more humane, controlled atmosphere stunning which the usda concedes is moreumane than the current method because it's not only bert for the birds but by the time humans start handling these birds, they are already unconscious or dead. so the fact is that chickens are excluded by usda from the very basic protection of the federal humane methods of slaughter act. >> paul, you know that's not true because -- >> if these animals were pigs or cattle -- >> they are not covered by the humane meltdz of slaughter act. >> that's the point. they are not. so, if chicken slaurter plants. >> the usda cannot enforce laws for which congress has not passed. >> congress has authorized usda to add any animal speis easy, they could include hens and turkeys if they wanted to. >> that's not true. >> they won't because if cattle and pigs were slaughtered in the way chickens and turkeys are, usda would shut these plants down. it's time for the chicken industry to move to the system of slaughter that usda, itself, is more humane, controlled atmosphere stunning, which would be better

the usda does not really factor in the cost that relatives may add.s not go into university education. maybe because that would be too depressing and what hurt the birth rate. it is a very complex situation. what this does is gives you an overall picture of what does this look like in terms of the cost of raising a child. generally used to cut to a child-support payments. this is where people can see where the temperature is now. do couples think about this before hand? isn't one of the situations where we are going to have a cost and this will fortune between now and when this child turns 18 years old? >> i think they really look into it before they make the decisions. this is the reason why the fertility rate in the u.s. has not been too high recently. it has really went down during the economic crisis. i think this was the reason. for a while they were holding off. ,s the economy is improving while the costs rise they do not rise as fast as before. maybe it will make them more optimistic. reportingrg news joining us from washington. thank you and c
