“””The US population is approaching a critical demographic milestone as deaths are now projected to exceed births as early as 2031,””””
Is this really a problem?
Fewer people would stop the huge increase in the price of housing.
Fewer people would mean less traffic congestion.
Fewer people would mean the population of the USA would not keep increasing to 500 million or more. Who wants an America where farmlands are converted to housing suburbs?
Government is the primary organization that wants an increasing population. That is how they pay for programs like social security.

And then we'll have to get rid of Social Security.
“Government is the primary organization that wants an increasing population. That is how they pay for programs like social security.”
Plus, the government “targets” two percent inflation. It’s
“Good for the economy.” But they only count the things they want to count. Medical costs, taxes, insurance, energy and a host of real-life costs rise too. The overall effect is ten percent per year. This is the primary reason nobody can afford a house or a new car. There are a lot of other factors but all of them, like H1B visas are a result of government policy. We have met the enemy and mostly voted it into office.
Government at all levels -- municipal to national -- run Ponzi schemes. Check your city and state to find out how much you are supposed to "owe." Then add in the amount of your "share" of the national debt you are supposed to owe, and realize that you are not conservative ENOUGH, and any RINOs and all Democrats are innumerate operators of the Ponzi schemes.
So as the nation approaches "a critical demographic milestone" sooner rather than later is a good thing. The Ponzi schemes will collapse earlier rather than later, and the opportunity to recover will come earlier rather than later.
Who'll be angry about that? All those on the debt-fueled gravy train.
