And the US will not have a population problem as long as it continues to take in huge numbers of immigrants. We may not be the same country, but we will remain number 3 or 4 in terms of population globally. I am more concerned about too many people than too little. We are bankrupt and taking in more poor people every year can not be sustained.
“2.1 is replacement level.”
In the developed world, sure. Not in the developing world.
Remember that death rates are higher in the developing world. Higher death rates require a higher birthrate.
I expect to see in a few years, a worldwide birth cohort smaller than the previous year’s birth cohort.
“The world’s population will continue to increase by about 50 million a year until at least 2050.”
Mostly due to the fact that people are living longer than previous.
“And the US will not have a population problem as long as it continues to take in huge numbers of immigrants.”
The immigrants simply won’t be there in 20 years. The US will not have a population problem because it is replacing itself. People are not going to leave countries where there is a population shortage. That is why the US doesn’t get much immigration from Europe.
Immigration from Asia is going to start choosing China over the US, and possibly Japan, if they change their laws. That is the only thing that will deter the coming collapse in both China and Japan, and even if you take the excess for all of Asia - it barely meets the workforce shortfall in China.
“I am more concerned about too many people than too little.”
You are shortsighted. Obama is trying to do everything he can to destroy this nation and cut it off from a prosperous future as THE world power when all the other european nations have collapsed.
“We are bankrupt and taking in more poor people every year can not be sustained.”
Nonsense. The US is bankrupt because it spends more per person than Europe. Cut the spending and the problem will be solved.
