I am making a prediction here. Birth rates are related to inflation. The more inflation, reduction of buying power per hour worked, the fewer children are born.

At the same time, as the Trump economy sends more blacks to work, we will see a reduction in drug crimes and gang shootings. In prior decades, being in a gang was a rite of passage. Eventually, gang members moved on to be productive workers and went on to lead adult non-gang lives. As liberalization took away jobs and moved them overseas, the only way to earn money was to stay in the gang and try to make it selling crack. Now street sellers are in their forties. A career in crack did not lead to bigger, better and more adult lives. Trump has changed all this for inner city and rural blacks alike.

In other words, it’s the economy, stupid...

Very true,

But I would add this.

All that "free stuff" in the Socialist Western Europe has put pressure on the producers of the population to support the non productive members of the nations.

Add in the nihilism that has replaced Christianity and top it off with abortion and one gets the current situation.

No government program can "fix" this. Europe and the West in general is dying.
