Because of generous cash, health and housing support, for at least the last 70 or 80 years (and likely for some time before then) women with lower IQs have been encouraged by the government to have bigger than average families. These supported-by-the-taxpayer babies (largely “fathered” by equally low IQ males) have become an increasingly larger percent of each subsequent American generation resulting in declining average IQs.
Exactly right.
I don't remember now when I first heard about this alleged dumbification, but until that time it was always said that African Americans were also enjoying the general rise in IQs, though starting from a lower level, there was hope they'd eventually catch up.
Now we're told that people generally are getting dumber, but which people exactly, and how much dumber?
Are all groups falling equally, or are some falling faster than others?
Which groups have continued to get smarter while the rest of us grow more... ah... age related forgetful?
Socialist government programs enabled stupid people to breed with other stupid people and their offspring was even dumber. Repeated every 15-18 years, the numbers exploded.
Meanwhile, the more intelligent people were burdened with paying for all of it and could afford fewer children and were having them later, at 30-35 years of age.
Those same intelligent people though were procreating with other intelligent people having even more intelligent children so you have smarter and smarter individuals surrounded by increasing numbers of idiots.
