Teen birthrate hits all-time low, led by 50 percent decline among Hispanics and blacks

MCPO Roger Collins - Master Chief; The "reports that refute the old ZPG claim" generally amount to saying "See, they didn't consider this factor (which didn't exist at the time) and they were wrong THEREFORE their whole thesis that the world does not consist of an infinite amount of each and every substance we need is OBVIOUSLY false.".

Those same people generally tend to believe in things like abiogenic petroleum (although I won't go so far as to state - categorically - that they believe that all of America's electrical energy needs could be provided by perpetual motion machines once the big electric companies stop hiding the research that shows that they are practical. [I mean, how do you KNOW that those so-called "turbines" are ACTUALLY being spun by water rather than being the electrical companies' secretly developed perpetual motion machines?]

So, you agree that limiting birthrate is a good thing? China is backing off on that, why would it be something we would want to follow? Given the admiration for those have support abortion and the millions of babies killed, you would think that would be adequate. Al in all, I am pleased to see the dropping in birthrates of teens.

MCPO Roger Collins - Master Chief; The PRC is backing off its official policy of attempting to keep the birth rate down to about 45.5% of the "replacement rate".

One of the factors that closely correlates to a decline in birth rate is an increase in economic well being. If the ONLY thing that you have that will provide for you in your old age is "descendants" then you are going to have a lot of them in the hope that enough of them will survive long enough to support you when you can't support yourself.

When you do it right, you don't need support. I do far more supporting of my children and grandchildren that they will ever do for me, now or after I am gone. But, aside from that:

"Births are falling in China, Japan, the United States, Germany, Italy and nearly all other European countries. Studies have shown that births drop when unemployment rises, such as during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Birth rates have fallen the most in some regions that were hardest hit by the financial crisis.

"Growth in the working-age population has halted in developed countries overall. Even in France and the United Kingdom, with relatively healthy birth rates, growth in the labor pool has slowed dramatically. In Japan, Germany and Italy, the labor pool is shrinking."

We need the birth rates to build the economy, however it is being done today by bringing in prolific illegals and refugees that draw from the pot rather than contributing to the pot.
