..Politicians are urging German men to have more sex to boost birth rates or risk being labeled “limp” abroad, a newspaper reported on Friday.
Johannes Singhammer, a member of parliament and father of six, said Germany’s aging population needed to produce more offspring to sustain its overstretched pensions system.
“Children are our future,” Singhammer told Germany’s Bild newspaper. “Germans need to work more on that again in bed. Things mustn’t get to the stage where German men are scoffed at abroad for being limp.”
Germany will have the world’s oldest population by 2035, according to a report in Germany’s Der Spiegel weekly

When people in Germany aren't being taxed into the ground to pay for welfare for the Turkish "guest workers" (now largely citizens, thanks to the EU) whose birthrate is 6X theirs, then maybe German natives will start having kids again.
"I mean, Europe is so much better than the US isn't it?"
From purely evolutionary perspective, the only thing that matters for any species/culture is survival. If European culture is better than American culture or Islamic culture, etc., European culture will not die and will in fact thrive. This doesn't sounds like it will be the case, though. Of course, this would be strictly a secularist viewpoint.
?
do I really wanna know about this match?
No the German politicians are realizing that the following problems in western europe are going to lead to a big time serious financial & social crisis.
1: Europe is dying faster than they are breeding ie taxpayer rolls will soon start a power dive/ death spiral
2: They are broke ie cradle to grave welfare hammock has sucked out all the money that could have gone for investment
3: The muslim guest workers aren't blending in to European culture & the European's lack the balls to do anything about it. Look at Spain & France & Germany within 20 years the majority of folks under the age of 21 will be the angry unassimilated children of angry unassimilated MUSLIM guest workers.
4:The politicians see the hand writing on the wall & they are literally scared silly.
