Culture of Death bump! Economic prosperity is impossible in a nation with a declining birthrate.

"If you do not believe in your own stock enough to see the stock kept up, then you are not good Americans, you are not patriots, and ... I for one shall not mourn your extinction; and in such event I shall welcome the advent of a new race that will take your place, because you will have shown that you are not fit to cumber the ground." --Teddy Roosevelt, speaking to a group of liberal pastors.

Economic prosperity is impossible in a nation with a declining birthrate.

Has that ever been proven? The reverse certainly isn't true ---countries like Mexico with it's very high birth rate aren't prosperous for most of the people especially the ones with the high birth rates. Same for Middle Eastern countries --they aren't prosperous and yet Europe with a lower birth rate is.

I think it matters more which type of people are increasing --if you have a growing middle class population, that is good, but it can't be good when the middle class is shrinking and the handout class is growing.
