The West used to prioritize motherhood and families.

In America, that was 70 years ago. So that's all in the past. So we've stopped supporting the nuclear family for three generations now. Vivek mentioned something about it. I did not hear a word from other candidates.

Anyway, Islam is going to conquer all. The world will soon enter in a new chapter. The Dark Ages. Until a civilization is strong enough to stand up to Islam. Each civilization is flawed. Maybe India is the best bet to take on Islam. There's over a billion people in India. They just need to get their act together. Otherwise, I would bet on China. But the CCP is not going to last another generation. So China is going to experience some turmoil, I predict.

So Islam is looking really good right now. And if we are on the outside, it's tempting to convert to Islam. They are a winning civilization. And we like winners.

No, we do not need more labor.

You are a corrupt supporter of Bidenomics, it appears.

How long have you been sick, like this?

Try again. See if you can explain how a collapsing and aging population can sustain a growing economy. Specifically: who will be paying the taxes to service the debt and pay for social security? Who will be investing in new industry, creating jobs? Where will the investment capital come from? Who will be acquiring housing and capital goods?

Your stupid, unexamined sloganeering reveals complete ignorance about how healthy economies work. Americans have chosen demographic collapse, which inevitably means economic collapse. And political irrelevance on the global stage, being pushed around by younger, growing countries. You are either OK with this, or else have some plan for us to evade the bad things about to happen in China, which totally bought the pop con myth. White people refuse to have babies, both here and in Europe. So what’s your plan?

Actually I do have a plan.

1. A one hundred year ban on all immigration—legal, illegal—whatever—no attorneys, no hearings—just immediate deportation if you cannot prove you are a citizen.

2. Create financial incentives for people to get married and stay married—male and female only, thank you.

3. Create financial incentives for those married people to have children.

The financial incentives could be tested at various levels. If it works at a level, great. If not, increase the level. Rinse and repeat until it works.

At that point it is just a numbers exercise.

People respond to incentives.

If you reward it you will get more of it.

If you punish it you will get less of it.

Example—for discussion only:

$10,000 payment per year for married couples with two children from the day they are born until the children are 21.

$20,000 payment per year for married couples with three children.

$40,000 payment per year for married couples with four children.

These numbers could be adjusted all kinds of ways—but the parents must remain married and the children must be living with them.

If they get divorced the money stops immediately and permanently—no second chances.

If you do a lot of drugs and want to make it easier for you to get them, IMMIGRATION is the answer. Unfortunately, when you want to raise race horses, you don’t breed two jackasses.

Post of the day.

Let me add one thing. Taking someone from a 3rd World country and giving them a middle-upper class lifestyle in their country for FREE makes them very happy to vote Democrat for life AND have babies.

The dummies pay taxes.

People respond to incentives.

Which is why people abort their babies: big government steals parent's natural return on investment to fund even bigger government. There is an easy fix to abortion, low birth rates, disinterested parenting, poor mating choices: give parents the social security deductions from their children's paychecks. That would fund the parent's retirement instead of social security. Large Amish families are exempt from social security deductions, and that is exactly what they do. Millions of state government workers also get to opt out of the social security system. Extend that option to all workers in free states, and America pops back to life.

Yes. We aborted 70 million Americans and replaced 50 million of them with illegals. What’s another 50 million?

we’re aborting 1m+ every year.

that’s 1 in 5 pregnancies and 60m+ kids since 1973.

democrat policies are the problem not our reproductive capabilities.

No, end abortions ....

I've long suspected that the invasion of our nation by illegals is the Lord's way of saying "I'm giving what was intended for your children, who you murdered, to foreigners."

"You must not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molech ...... Therefore anyone who commits any of these abominations must be cut off from among his people. You must keep My charge not to practice any of the abominable customs that were practiced before you, so that you do not defile yourselves by them. I am the LORD your God.” - Leviticus 18

Possible but keep in mind pretty much all the 1st and 2nd world countries now are doing it. But i agree abortions are a horror.

It might have been all the people in the world standing together would fit in Nova Scotia.

If using the population density of Toyko, the world’s population could live in Alaska with room to spare.

Or - in an area about the size of Texas and California combined if they preferred to live somewhere warm.

Heck of a long commute though to grow crops in the Midwest to feed all of those people.

My local rag just ran some headline “Where Have all the Children Gone?”

50 years ago the headlines were about “Population Explosion will Result in Starvation”.

“Bring in lots of poor people who will be on welfare for generations.”

Just like “The Great Society” with welfare was supposed to make things better, things only got worse. And so government power had to increase in order to fix it.

I’m not sure if the liberals are that smart, but a lot of this stuff seems DESIGNED to fail so that government can get bigger.

End contraception too while we are at it. The Church was/is right.

I think the liberal Business Insider is really saying Americans don’t have enough Democrat kids. Demographically, the ratio of children born to Republican families vs Democrat families is 240 to 170. Just a matter of time before Republicans overtake Democrats. Now just connect that demographic to the open border and the notion of importing Democrat breeders and one can understand why Dems are willing to go through the short term political pain of the open border issue for the potential long term gain of forever power
