US Birthrate Continues to Decline

[struth]

If you want American birthrates to increase, close the border.

Small families are the trend...Just the way it's going to be

In the 80s when I was born, I recall people thinking I had a big family because I was one of four

Now a days folks are having one kid…two tops

Which is fine, we have a large population, we don’t need to expand. We in fact likely need to decrease in population

Married people don't have to have kids. They can be married and be happy, without kids. I look at my granddaughter. Now 30, married to her husband. They both make very good money. Have a big house, new vehicles, and take 3 to 4 big trips per year. Zero kids. 4 dogs though. Very happy.

The bottom line is that all people have a right to their choices. The Alt-Right is seeking to cajole people's choices through half-truths and outright lies.

It's just another reason why I know all MAGAts are evil followers of Satan.

I saw that study recently and posted it on this forum. Democrats need to be reminded at least once a week. They screwed themselves up by promoting abortion.

When I was a teen boy, this thing called a body count did not exist. Now it is well established among teens. They know precisely what a body count means. Also, now they have a term called smashing. Do you need me explain it?

That's NOT how our economy is going to work successfully. In fact we will have a complete societal and governmental collapse before then.
Meaning that a lot of people will die painfully and slowly.
And because a huge portion of the World is dependent upon the American economy and Government....many nations in the world will follow us down. Yes, it's going to be an apocalyptic worthy event.

My young sister (28) thinks winking at guys is wrong. I tell her that her current methodology is not working any better.

Only God knows if you are delusionally mentally ill or an evil liar. It's God's place to judge, not mine.

It is my strongest belief that TRUTH will win over evil.

How will it lead to that?

Frankly we are heading there now…we have been the worlds check book, defense, etc, how can we stay alive on the current path?

NOBODY is even remotely suggesting that women should be even so much as become browbeat into having children. I'm asking no strong encouragement either.

Where you get such ideas is beyond my capabilities of imagination. Are you sure you aren't a fascist in disguise? Hitler did the whole browbeat/strong-armed thing....

Only you have said something like this. Nobody else. If it's some sort of fetish of yours or something....keep it to yourself.

I just want people to be able to afford children if they want them and have zero restrictions on guys asking a girl out for a date.

In 2025, 710,000 fewer babies were born as compared to 2005.

Women are delaying motherhood into their 30's and 40's it seems.

From the piece:

"Whatever the causes, many demographers and economists see the apparent shift toward smaller families and fewer children as a significant concern for the nation and its labor force, especially as immigration into the U.S. has also plunged under the Trump administration." Yeah the price of labor is going to go way up (no pun intended).

Frankly, I don't see it. Our maternity ward is as busy as ever it seems. It should make people think twice about wanting to limit birthright citizenship; but it won't.

It's happening in all Western nations because governments tax the fup out of its citizens to pay for immigrants, and it's the immigrants that pump the babies out because the citizens can't afford a family.

No doubt. Are you a Christian? Yes or no, please.

I am a staunch supporter of Jesus. From what I've seen on USMB the past few days, most support evil.

Yep, small family trend is strong.

Objectively....
It's the poorest nations that have the highest birth rates.
Objectively speaking, they have absolutely nothing else to do but breed. It's not like they have jobs to go to.

However, they are usually breeding a sister or cousin. We are talking 4th generation products of incest here all eating dirt cookies. (Mud mixed with a tiny bit of lard and baked in the sun....it's a thing in poor countries)

But more to the point....they do have a much better work/life balance....much less stressful environments. Nobody is worried they will get laid off next week or month. No 6-figure school loan debts to make payments on while working a low 5-figure job. People have lots of leisure time to socialize.
Unfortunately in poor nations you cannot trust anyone not to rob you the second they can get one up on you....which is why they practice so much incest. But here in the developed world we do not need to be so greedy and opportunistic. So we don't feel forced into incestuous relationships with our first cousins.

Life expectancy is low in shit hole countries so they pump out the kids so some make it
to a reasonable age.

I see and understand your viewpoint and much of it is valid. It's going to take a ton more than eliminating fraud and waste. Young people have flung the door open on following whatever path they want. I strongly believe they are now feeling free to choose whatever it is they wish as their goals and an increasing number are choosing a marriage with a small family or no kids at all. Im not saying it's good or bad. It is what it is. It's where things are. I cannot fault two young married people seeing others have nice things, etc and wonder why they should go without those things when others have them. So they make a choice.

Wait. What?

 

[JohnDB]

Wait. What?

Our welfare state is under too much stress from these immigrants which are a drain on our systems....they add nothing to our economy. They do suck ALL the resources out of it while contributing nothing.

This includes, police, fire, welfare, SS, child Protective services, section 8 housing, insurance, school systems and etc, etc, etc....

It's a HUGE amount of resources that EVERY community has to put out to support these immigrants. Not just national resources from the Federal government but local ones as well. And often local communities have no say whether they can afford to host these immigrants or not.

Instead of a little white girl on a couch surrounded by big guys....it's a sidewalk these days. Rapes are up dramatically in migrant infested communities. That's not the only crime going on either.

Look at Somalians in Minnesota....California....and the NY fiasco. They are applying for federal gifts and getting them without a single point of verification.

So yes, he has a valid point.

Its not immigrants that gave us 100% debt to GDP.

Nope....it is not.

You are very correct on this.
