To point out the blindingly obvious, the baby boomers have grown old and are now dying. A demographic bulge, of course it makes it appear that white reproduction has dropped. It really hasn’t.
The baby boomers were officially born between 1946 and 1964, but the decline in the bulge dropped to high normal levels in about 1958. This means the oldest boomers are 67, and the youngest in their mid-50s.
Death rates per 100,000:
25-34 age group: 105
35-44 age group: 184
45-54 age group: 421
55-64 age group: 877
65-74 age group: 2,011
75-84 age group: 5,012
85+ age group: 12,946

BINGO!!! We are paying too much for others in taxes and we feel like we CAN'T AFFORD MORE KIDS OF OUR OWN!!!!!!
we stopped having kids because we could not afford anymore, we waited two years before we had our first kid because we worked to get enough money to afford a kid.

She usually has 5 or 7 kids with her, probably with all different men I might add.
Yea those who don’t have all these kids are working or paying for their own while those who sit about collect welfare are banging out kids for their extra welfare
