Who gave you the right to decide who should and who shouldn't reproduce?

Sadly there is something to be said for that. Many educated and responsible people are putting off having kids, and then having fewer of them for economic reasons. Yet the working class and wealthy support giving money to lower educated people who actually get more money and benefits every month when they have more illegitimate kids.
Thus it exacerbates the problem of the educated subsidizing the children of the uneducated/irresponsible.

This is not a new problem, it has just gotten worse.
That is especially true since Obama came along and got rid of programs that discouraged breeders to sit at home and just create more kids, without contributing to the society that is paying their way.

Actually true. When whites are the minority you'll see the other demographic groups fighting over the pie. And unlike white folks, they are allowed to embrace their racial identities.

This will probably sound racist. Not my intent. But I think a lot of white families stress the importance of not having kids unless you can afford them. While some other groups think it's a blessing if their teenage kids have kids.



I have quite many friends who are white that have 0 kids. Why? They think about their future & realize it would only be tough proving for a family with out government assistance.

Did you even read the report? Every group is having less kids, Blacks aren't that far behind whites, and latinos aren't as well. White people are just much older so whites having less kids makes a bigger effect.
For whites its 1.66, blacks 1.83, Hispanic 2.03. Not that much difference.

It is just a regurgitation of what social scientists have been telling us for years and years. Shock--they were right!

Nothing will change the demographic path we are headed down, which is why the Trump base is freaking out, panicking and grabbing at straws.

They believe their orange god can protect them from the inevitable reality of which they've been in great denial.

Facts are facts. And the fact is that by 2020 children of minority groups in the US will outnumber white children.

Indeed they think and believe Trump is trying his hardest to turn back the clock to the 50s and 60s. Not happening. Ever.

Why would anyone want to subject their children to this nut job world at the moment? Forget that. Maybe if society became sane again and we elected sane leaders, it would be different.

The world is going to hell in a hand basket. Not a good time to be reproducing. Who the hell can afford it anyways? Theres no job security.

Why is everyone getting all racial with answers anyway? In 100-150 years most of America's children will be shades of brown, interracial children are popping out faster than we can count. The number of millennials that care about skin color and children is extremely low, i doubt that trend will change with future generations.
