Deaths Overtake Births in Europe, New Stats Confirm

LUXEMBOURG, July 12, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – The native-born population of the European Union (EU) is on the decline thanks to more deaths than births in 2017, new government figures reveal.

On Tuesday, the European Union’s statistics office Eurostat released a report on the latest population data, just in time for World Population Day on Wednesday. It reveals that the EU saw 5.3 million deaths and 5.1 million births in 2017. The overall population increased from 511.5 million to 512.6 million, however, thanks to immigrants making up the difference.

“With 82.9 million residents (or 16.2% of the total EU population on 1 January 2018), Germany is the most populated EU Member State, ahead of France (67.2 million, or 13.1%), the United Kingdom (66.2 million, or 12.9%), Italy (60.5 million, or 11.8%), Spain (46.7 million, or 9.1%) and Poland (38.0 million, or 7.4%),” the report says. “For the remaining Member States, nine have a share of between 1.5% and 4% of the EU population and thirteen a share below 1.5%.”

The globalist/financiar/leftist/nanny-state needs to keep the debt and entitlements game going, and you can only do that with ever more debt, more customers for the welfare state, and more people to service that debt.

Screw the Euroweenies. They ordained their own fate with inviting Muslim migrant invasions and now criticize us for resisting Islam & not confiscating guns. Let them stew in their own juices and if Fortress America is what it takes to defend us and our way of life, then so be it.

“They ordained their own fate with inviting Muslim migrant invasions”

They ordained their own fate when they ignored the Pareto Principle and took their NATO-subsidised defence savings and adopted short work weeks, long summer vacations, and nationalised health care.

Europe is like a rust belt museum: interesting on a historical basis, but broke. They’ll tell you what they used to have in their collection.

The good news is that the Muzzies are replicating quite well with multiple wives and extended family waltzing right in. What’s the population problem? Problem solved!

Socialism in action. When the over head cost of living makes having children a negative economic concept, you start to fail to replace the income producing members of society. Socialism is by far the stupidest fucking concept that has ever gone through the human brain. It has killed as many people in the last 100 years then Islam has probably killed in the last thousand years. I guess when it comes to efficiency socialism wins the day.

Oh joy, they’ve joined forces.

Christians need to be having babies. And fulfilling the Bible’s choice for them — “be fertile and multiply.”

The wise people see the end coming or at least real hard times and do not want to subject their children to that scenario.

The politicians know that, and refuse to do the right thing: adjust the tax laws so that the normal, hard working people are able to enjoy the fruits of their labor, and to feel they have a future, and have children.
Instead, the bastards bring in savages who are obsessed with breeding and populating the country with little savagettes.
