Ironic

There is great irony in the fact that we never used oral contraceptives as birth control, until we started seeing infertility doctors. "Having problems getting pregnant? Here, have some birth control. That should help." I am still trying to figure out how this happened.

I also see great irony in the USA governmental leaders not wanting to let tax breaks to the wealthy expire (because that would be the same as raising taxes, and they all get voted on platforms of not raising taxes), even though renewing the tax breaks will result in greater national debt in the long rung. Simultaneously they don't want to extend unemployment benefits in our lagging economic times because that would result in greater national debt... Personally I see an easy fix: let the tax breaks expire to those who make more than $250,000 a year, and extend the unemployment benefits!
