No sure about the entire US, but I know I'm getting older every day. Every. Day.

At Least we're the ones that get to grow old at the same rate as the nation.

Agreed. We need a smaller peopulation. Sadly there are religious breeder families that don't agree with this. Some people just like to poop put children.

I keep reading about countries that are aging like USA, JAPAN, EUROPE and are not having enough babies and will be in trouble in future. Which makes it seem like, we need more babies. But then I see the countries with huge amount of young population like China and India & hear about how strong their economy will be in future but remember how terrible they were only 10 years ago & how much struggle their everyday people have due to poor current economy.


so which is better? To be in India and China's shoe of future strong economy or to be in Japan and USA shoe of has been? Are we really going to be in trouble in future?

We don't need more babies on this Earth and wall to wall people. The food supply is grown on artificial fertilizers as it is and so many species are disappearing. The oceans are polluted with tiny specks and also huge floating islands of plastic. Its GREAT that there are fewer babies. Even third world countries women don't want to have a million kids anymore. The quality of life with fewer kids is so much better. This is a good thing.

Economic growth is heavily tied to population growth. Especially now that the first world has transformed to into consumer nations.

Remove population growth and you remove much of economic growth with screws over the younger generations of things most of you all took for granted.

Muslims dont view them as a economic asset. They view children as a key to conquering the west through migration. Latinos view their children as a wild card for a green card. The more you have, the better chance you have for being sponsored by one of them when they're 18. The freebie welfare economic part is just the frosting on the cake.

Do you realyl believe that India and China are the ideal?? If so, you should need to go over there and see for yourself. And perhaps move there.
