Germany is in need of massive economic overhauls. They are really starting to feel the effects of decades of socialists running things.

The lack of children is a huge problem and is going to hit them really hard within 10 to 20 years.

Although the MSM won't tell the (white) Europeans the truth, which is that their culture will be extinct in 2 or 3 decades - unless drastic action is taken, it does look like Ms. Merkel is starting to condition them for the truth.

The bottom line is that since women now have options in which children only get in the way, a large number of women, including Ms. Merkel herself, have decided against children.

The solution - easy, treat childrearing as a profession, and have the government pay families to have children (something like US $4,000 to $5,000 per year, per kid, up to 10 kids). Exclude the Muslims, of course, since they're not having any problems with procreation anyway.

Forget things like day care and that garbage, simply pay the parents to produce.

Once a civilization is established, every person should marry and have exactly 2 kids; more or fewer kids, we grow or shrink toward different kinds of crisises.

Of couse disease and asexuality cause problems, so in reality fewer people actually marry, but those who do need to have more than 2 kids to compensate for stillborns and childless losers....

We can just send some of our babies over to Germany. They're called Democrats.

This is a mission where I believe I could do a lot of help.

Past reluctance to tackle the problem is largely explained by the sensitivity of child-bearing in a country which, under the Nazis, did all it could to raise the birth rate for the state.

Did the Germans rip up the Autobahn after World War 2?

The fact that Angela Merkel doesn't have children doesn't bother me. If women are that fiercely dedicated to the idea of having a career, then it follows that they will not be able to dedicate the proper time to raising a family.

Shifting economic aid to young families is not the answer. One of the biggest reasons women work while trying to raise a family is the fear that if they do not, they will become destitute should they outlive their husbands. I would like to hear more debate on how to solve this problem because it will be the only way to convince women to have children and raise them themselves instead of relying on the socialist network to raise their children for them.

Germany needs to start promoting a culture of family again.

The liberals have created a culture where women who have children are seen as "not cool and hip". Everything in Germany these days is about ME-ME-ME.

The colleges and welfare system have made it easy for students to spread out their schooling, taking one or two classes a quarter and end up spending their entire 20's finishing a standard four year degree.

The daycares and pre-schools need to knock this "You have to pick up kid at no later than 2pm" crap off.

On the ecnomic front, its just as bad. Germany has some of the worst % rates of startup businesses. Their is soo many layers of taxes and red tape to do the simpliest things.

And many of the german people in their 20's are sick of watching half their salaries taken out to pay the bloated pensions of the baby boomer generation and avoid entering the workforce.

But she is fully aware that the onus is on her, the country's first female leader, to improve the lot of women, raise the birth rate and put Germany back at the top as an economic power within a decade.

I thought being barefoot and pregnant was not having your lot improved.

And, of course the workforce would be unable to support the elderly Germans; they are all on welfare now.

I'm sure the Muslims will have a "solution" for that.

Again, the fathers of the children should raise them.

I'm always amazed that this issue rises on occasion, and nothing changes. The downward demographic shift was projected over 30 years ago, yet no one paid any attention. Pope Paul VI issued his encyclical Humane Vitae condemning contraception and abortion, realizing the outcome. And several decades before Paul VI, in the late 19th Century, another Pope Leo XII, I believe, stated that contraception was race suicide. Well, tsk, tsk, so much for telling the Church it doesn't have a clue about modern society. I guess as "modern" Western society heads down the muslim dominated toilet, people will continue to deny the wisdom of the Holy Fathers over the past 100 years on this issue. Nothing like a post Christian, neo pagan, socialist, materialist, humanist society committing slow suicide over the last four decades in particular. Hold on to your hats, boys and girls, the ride is going to get a lot rougher, unless you start procreating and decide to save your civilization. A bigger house, fancier car and more vacations ain't going to do you much good if mohammed changes the rules on you and either attempts to enslave you or saw your head off. But then again, I suspect many more would rather convert and going on living a lie.

Socialism leads to death. It is as simple as this. In the long run, it is unsustainable, it collapses on itself. Socialism is Westernism run wild, in the US, we have this problem as well (we are Socialism-lite), only not quite as bad.

Wow, the Zero Population bunch is going to have a ball with this aren't they? Kooks to the fore!

My supervisor is one of those. She makes the most inappropriate comments to workers who are expecting.

Pat is laughed at because he lets his swastika show on a regular basis.

Yep. That's the sad truth.
