"..has had the most punishing impact on demographic trends of anything since the Great Depression"
Because the Great Depression was a walk in the park compared to what we're going through now.
It’s Molech.

Yes, and the economy gathering strength is an illusion, pushed by the Marxist media.
Today, people are more self centered, and they are too lazy to have kids. I could go on, but it is too depressing.
America is in a fundamental change, and there is NOTHING good about it.
Children are now viewed as a burden rather than a blessing.
These demographers are idiots. Anybody with a functioning brain can see why this would occur.
They’re not getting laid enough?
Sorry, Michelle Duggar and I are 47 years old. There’s only so much we can do. Maybe demographers should try having their own children!
The simplest answer is the Obama Depression. Fertility rates always decline in economic hard times. The broader answer is the Culture of Death and the breakdown of the family.
“Because the Great Depression was a walk in the park compared to what we’re going through now.”
You’re right; the Depression was a temporary (if prolonged) economic malaise, while this is a permanent adjustment to America’s standard of living to align it with those in Asia. The only way to temporarily delay this transition is to avoid breeding and the costs that are associated with it; you can still buy new cars, go on nice vacations, and have nice things - you’ll just be leaving them to your pet when you die.
Coupled with the emergence of large numbers of non-reproducing homosexuals and you have the perfect formula for self-extinction.
Luckily we have floods of "immigrants" coming in to take over.
One of the ways God shows His displeasure is by closing up the wombs of women in the disfavored regime.
Let me take a potshot guess and say that families can’t afford more kids these days, and also because mom has to work long hours now and has no time to bear and raise them?

*****************************
The Great Depression and NOW are equivalent in government sponsored economic destruction but back then most people had farms and could survive without money ,, today we have jobs and they are paying less every day.
The media is as much the enemy as Obama, Reid and Pelosi.
Oh Come on......women AND men don’t want more than 1 -2 kids today because they want TIME FOR THEMSELVES!!!!
Might the fact this country is circling the drain possibly have something to do with it?
We need to do whatever it takes to make it once again both economically possible and respectable for people to marry and start families at 18 - 22, and not at 30 - 35. That might in fact require some sort of subsidy, so be it, the alternative is bringing in hordes of illegals and paying THEM to have children....
I’m thinking I should ask my pastor that is the ratio of funerals:weddings:baptisms in our parish. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s 10:3:1
Duh. When you murder over a million children in the womb every year, you will have fewer births. All godless countries that kill children have falling population….but of course, ours is trying to get around that by encouraging an invasion of children from Central America. That should work out well>sarc
No real faith in God —— putting self first —— contraceptive mentality = NO to life
My guess is that the smart person now is reconsidering having their kids pay for the moochers that are taking over this country and don’t want them saddled with that burden. I bet the moochers are having baby booms since they get all that “free stuff” and don’t have to work now.
