And ain't nobody going to get their Social Security and Medicare.

I have no idea why some people are claiming that this is a good trend.

Between deportations, low birth rates and Boomers starting to die off rapidly we could see net population reductions in the millions in the next decade.

and it will be cheaper to have kids compared to now, so the next generations will see an increase in birth rates.....

for too many, the cost of having a family is too high to have many and it also causes many to delay starting a family

Explain to me again why this would be considered bad?


Economic depression and inability to fund the government entitlements, including the Big Two.

Look, you've already got abortion gone in half the country. My wife and I will be the ones to decide when we want another kid, not someone else. There's nothing stopping you and yours from popping out 6 or 7 more if you're worried about demographics.

So if you don’t have access to birth control that’s equivalent to someone else deciding whether or not you have children?

Unless you genuinely think sex should be solely for procreation then yes it is.

You only have to go back to the early 90s and the population was 250 million. Now we’re pushing 350 million. We have taken in way too many. Nothing wrong with this.

Create a problem and offer replacement theory as the solution.

Convince women not to have babies. For the ones who want families, make more of them infertile with the introduction of novel vaccines.

Exempt intruders from most vaccines and let them multiply.

Argue that more people are needed to do the jobs and keep the the economy booming.

And suddenly you have replacement theory.

Or, deport all illegals. The boomers die off. Fix the air, water, food, and vaccines. Increase everyone’s sex drive naturally. Start emphasizing family values.

With more opportunities and cheaper housing for natural born Americans, a post WWII baby boom happens all over again.

We now have mom, the flag, and apple pies for practically everyone.

It’s doable. Just need the will, strength, and conviction to do it.

If you're telling me and my wife that we have no access to condoms, birth control pills, IUDs, etc then you are telling us that we have no real control over when we decide to have children. The rhythm method will only take you so far.

Wrong. Maybe people will be able to afford shite again. And frick entitlements
Including the “big two” but especially welfare etc. Demand will still be there. We’ve gotten too fricking big with too many unproductive mouths to feed. Move if you don’t like it. I’ll buy your property too.

The worst of all carpetbaggering. Bringing all kinds of societal non-invested people into Southern communities to be criminals and burdens.

And we wonder why women take to the streets in their handmaid’s outfits given statements like this.

The US population won't shrink in 2025, its stupid for whoever this is to even say such nonsense. It will shrink in the usual places, PA, Ohio, WV, Illinois, etc.

No, right.

Welfare, etc., barely move the needle. SS and Medicare are the Big Two.

And in about 30 years at the current trajectory, we will not be able to fund them with the declining population.

Move if you don’t like it


Maybe you should move. It sounds like you're the unhappy one. I suggest Mexico. They don't spend much on welfare there.

Plus, you'll fit right in. Your last name is Badass, right? Billy Badass?
