Okay, we have fewer people in the next generation. So what!
One of the lowest birth rates in this country is from white liberal women. Personaly I think we are better off with fewer white liberal women giving birth.
Meanwhile, in the Muslim world, the rate is something like 4.
Those who espouse low birth rates, there is your legacy.
Allahu Akbar.
World population continues to increase, American population continues to increase. Some implosion this is.
Ehrlich should have been laughed out of serious discussion years ago but wasn't because the left/greens have so much invested in his theories.
Our pro-growth immigration policy will place tremendous strains on this country in many ways.

When will the new Neurenburg Trials begin? Begin them with Planned Parenthood on the dock. PP is an invention of US Commies. Will it happen? No way! Too many libs believe in killing (sacrificing) babies as part of their religion —in ancient times it was called appeasing the god Baal.
Yeah, I was thinking about what you said and it seems like the biggest difference between the death camps and what’s going on now is we can’t smell the smoke from the furnaces.
Years ago, I believe it was on either 20/20 or Nightline, there was a gentleman that used to deconstruct issues with very simple, layman terms. One of his reports dealt with this very issue. I recall him using eggs as a visual aid, and his nephews contributed to the report.
I’ve always wanted to find a copy of that report, as it was very well done and fascinating.
Anyone else have a recollection of this? (or better yet, a link to it)
Nobody wants to consider the deaths caused by the drug scene. It is huge.
They’ve been replaced.
There is only one example of a modern industrial nation increasing its birthrate to great result by known means.
Post-WWII America’s Levittown was the model for this baby boom. Soon suburbs across the US recreated this model to similar effect. Its major elements:
1) One breadwinner married couples. The husbands worked in mostly white collar jobs, and the wives were homemakers. Taxes were low enough for this to happen.
2) Child-centric communities with limited entertainments for unmarried adults.
3) Few people in the community who were neither raising children or not interested in raising children.
Importantly, to recreate this situation intentionally in today’s world, no matter where it was done, would probably require subtle, but authoritarian controls behind the scenes.
It would be worth it to create a city from scratch, solely with the intention of making it a national incubator. Most of the jobs would be make-work and low intensity, and adults who were not married or not inclined to have children would need to be kept out.
Women would mostly need to be excluded from the work force, but families would need to get by on the income from just the father. Luxuries would be strictly limited, as would unhealthy recreations that didn’t lead to procreation. OB/GYN, pre-natal, maternity, pediatric and fertility medicine would be good, but there would be no birth control or abortion allowed.
Religion would be an important element, and the government would encourage religious leaders to advocate procreation. Schools would likewise have to be good quality, with plenty of patriotic instruction and sports.
Such a city would need to be isolated and protected enough for the project to work, and would need good management to maintain child production rates, not just have it limited to a “wave” of children.
and all of their descendants are gone.
France and Italy are also offering government sponsored perks for native women who are reproducing.
Referring to the extremely low Italian birthrate
There's no need to extrapolate, and if you do it gets a little freaky, but, just for fun, here goes: by 2050, 60 per cent of Italians will have no brothers, no sisters, no cousins, no aunts, no uncles.
China’s one child policy is going to bring them to their knees in the next 20 years.
