Baby bust: US fertility rates hit all-time lows

The impact of the U.S. recession will reverberate for generations to come as women — both Anglos and Hispanics — continue to postpone having children.

For the second year in a row, deaths of non-Hispanic whites outnumbered births from July 1, 2012, to July 1, 2013, according to population estimates released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau.

“These are the only two years in U.S. history when more non-Hispanic whites died than were born,” said Kenneth Johnson, senior demographer at the University of New Hampshire’s Carsey Institute. Births have been fewer for some time, “but the decline since the onset of the Great Recession has been precipitous.”

The Census Bureau estimates that there were just under 2 million births to whites who are not Hispanic, compared with 2.3 million births at the peak of the economic boom in 2006–07 — a 13 percent drop in just six years.

“Who else is going to pull the welfare wagon? Working Americans will be the slave labor to the unproductive.”

We already are (for the permanent underclass); as we lose our jobs and watch our (taxable) salaries fall, these costs will have to be passed on to companies. That should chase what is left of them overseas...

It goes to show you just how irrationally power hungry they are. There is no sense of progeny, no legitimate heirs of traditional American freedom, no tradition - nothing. Just raw power-of-now.

To them, there is no America after they die. A religious person would conclude that if they don't even conceive of a better country after they die, then they probably don't even actually believe in God.

They are willing to throw away the one last chance for a sane planet in lieu of a bunch and third/fourth/fifth world immigrants who will vote to keep them in office during their lifetimes. After that what do they care if the US becomes another Zimbabwe, Venezuela or Guatemala?

U.S. citizens don’t need to create kids anymore, look at all the ones odumbo is bringing here as ready made democrats.

When these currently illegal but future “American” kids grow up and realize what a great place this county is (or was before they got here) and they get all that free stuff (until it runs out), they will support their “king” forever.

“The Hispanic total fertility rate dropped from 2.84 in 2007 to 2.12 in 2012, he said.”

Ignore the rest of the article, this is the BIG PROBLEM for Democrats. This is a HUGE PROBLEM for them. They understand it...but Republicans are TOO DUMB to figure out what’s going on.

Basically, the natural growth of Hispanics has come to a stop, and there simply are not enough of them to replace the FDR Democrats that are, finally, dying off in big numbers. The other problem with American Hispanics (as opposed to Illegals) is that they tend to open-minded regarding who they vote for, particularly once they learn English and integrate into American culture.

The Dems know this, which is why they DESPERATELY NEED the 30 Million or so new ILLEGALS to become legalized, and then hopefully vote sooner than later. But they manage to trick the IDIOT REPUBLICANS into thinking that Amnesty will work for them, instead.

Not to mention the 47% of US.

Americans can’t afford to have their own babies because theferal government is taxing us to death to make us pay to support and educate the illegal alien babies from around the world.
