The American Population Bust: U.S. birth rate has fallen below replacement. Indeed, it is below France’s total fertility rate.

Talking about Europe’s demographic disaster in 2008, Romney said: it is “the inevitable product of weakened faith in the creator, failed families, disrespect for the sanctity of human life and eroded morality.”

We are toast.

  1. Mark Steyn, a very readable writer, has delved very thoroughly into this topic in his ‘America Alone’ & ‘After America’.
