No, it's true. Lefties ignore facts, and choose to prefer to think evolution doesn't exist, which is why
they force the denial of the basic evolutionary process of survival of the fittest by providing artificial financial support via means-tested social welfare programs.
The predictable result...
The poor are currently given financial incentives (rewards, if you will) to overbreed in the form of more generous public assistance benefits. Think very carefully about the results of those policies...
48% of all US births are paid by Medicaid (source: Medicaid). In a country that only has a 13.5% poverty rate (source: CIA World Factbook). The US Census Bureau has determined that, consistently, women on public assistance, as a group, have a birth rate
3 times higher than those not on public assistance. I can post links to the Census Bureau's analysis publications if anyone wishes.
Anyone who understands compounded population growth projection will understand that this is a recipe for disaster. It's mathematically unsustainable. Period.
I'll give an example of the future consequences using the following formula (compounded population growth projection) and values, given the rate ratios we already know (non-poor : poor = 1 : 3), after a time period of 50 years (roughly, the time span of two generations), and using a small sample size for the sake of making an easier comparison.
The formula is:
present value x (e)^kt = future value
where e equals the constant 2.71828..., k equals the rate of increase (expressed as a decimal, e.g. 5% would be 0.05), and t is the number of years (or other unit, as long as it is the same as k) over which the growth is to be measured.
Given: 100 births/year. 52 non-poor. 48 poor.
k for the non-poor = 1% = 0.01
k for the poor = 3% = 0.03
Non-poor population after 50 years: 85.73
Poor population after 50 years: 215.12
They began at:
Non-poor: 52%
Poor: 48%
And after 50 years of population growth given the rate ratios we already know, that results in:
Non-poor: 28.5%
Poor: 71.5%
The poor/low-income are WAY overbreeding, encouraged and enabled to do so by all the freebie public assistance benefits they get.
Do you recognize the problem for society that presents? What's the plan to PAY for that?
The percentage of the US population that cannot support themselves and their dependents will increase exponentially, while those paying taxes will be increasingly unable to pay enough to support them all. It's completely mathematically unsustainable, and the US's society is already beginning to feel the effects as society in this country deteriorates and the average US lifespan continues to decrease.
