America’s “baby bust” and dehumanization of the elderly
America’s Baby Bust
Wall Street Journal | February 12, 2013
The nation’s falling fertility rate is the root cause of many of our problems. And it’s only getting worse. …
… The fertility rate is the number of children an average woman bears over the course of her life. The replacement rate is 2.1. If the average woman has more children than that, population grows. Fewer, and it contracts. Today, America’s total fertility rate is 1.93 …
… You get more old people than young people. And eventually, as the bloated cohort of old people dies off, population begins to contract. …
In spite of how thoroughly brainwashed the public is with population propaganda from the elite – you can tell from the comments – this article clearly demonstrates that population is going to go into serious decline, causing terrible economic consequences.
The unfortunate part of the article is the author’s disrespectful attitude towards the elderly which is more “communist” than conservative. Probably fake “conservatives” will be the ones pushing for austerity measures against seniors who were forced to pay taxes all their lives.
