[I want the USA back]

It’s no longer accurate to call the USA a “rich country.” The value of our money has eroded, the pres is giving away hundreds of billions, he has let millions into the country, and now we are poor.

And that’s why we are not having kids.

And that’s why the “poor and oppressed” are streaming into the country - to live off our money and to pop out a few million more babies that we will be supporting.

Don’t call us rich.

The relevant metric is to compare the US today with the US of one hundred years ago....

In those days (especially during the Depression) millions were actually starving—as in no food and no government aid and broke churches.

Millions lived in shanty towns and shacks that would be condemned and torn down today.

Millions did not have any electricity at all—much less the many modern conveniences that went with them.

etc etc etc....

True. We would need to find a suitcase with 34 trillion in it before we could even claim to be flat broke.

RE: Don’t call us rich.

So, why are we still shouldering nearly 1/4 of the United Nation’s Budget and most of the defense budget of NATO?

...or worse than poor. Poor people have no money. We have $42T in debt.

Such debt makes it impossible to raise children.
