[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want a higher birth rate, baby bonuses don’t work. They need to address the housing problem, the economic uncertainty, and the unavailability of daycare/expense of daycare. Men also need to modernize their approach to marriage and family.

exactly who gets harmed with lower birthrates?

our nation is already overwhelmed with too many people.

please explain the problem with a lower birthrate?[/quote]
What are you talking about? We don’t have enough people! If you had your dream and got rid of all the brown people who would pick our props? Who would care for our elderly? Who would build our houses?  there aren’t enough white people to do the work.[/quote]

Why don't we have enough people? It feels like you are advocating just importing a slave labor class and turning this country into a third world - what if these jobs actually payed a legit wage. I don't understand how having more people solves some of the major issues we have today with housing, pay, etc.[/quote]

DP. You have to have a certain percentage of new people (by birth or immigration) to have economic growth. It’s economics 101. America has always had better than replacement rates. We are a big country. If you live in a city, there are plenty of people but rural areas are dying. Nobody is advocating for a slave labor class. America needs to overhaul/update/fix our immigration process. We need to prosecute employers who hire people here illegally but we need to have a better immigration system that ends employer’s ability to exploit people here illegally or in programs like H1 B. But American businesses, like Trump’s, love cheap labor.[/quote]
