Europe has a negative birth-rate and is slowly dying into obscurity. Europe does have a fantastic welfare and retirement plan that is sucking the place dry. The people that I know who returned to Ireland have now returned back to the U.S. There is no future in Europe that I can see.
The US has a negative birthrate as well (among citizens); mass immigration and anchor babies are maintaining the illusion of growth. Many towns that are 80% “white” are 65% Hispanic in the 20 and under demographic.
We have no more future than Europe, and they have the retirement plan and vacation time. We can’t sneer at them anymore; our unemployment and taxes have caught up to theirs...
