The beauty of a democracy is you don’t have to choose between two mass murders. You can reject both and live with the consequences.

The United States is experiencing a demographic shift that could reshape the nation’s future. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows America’s total fertility rate has plummeted to a historic low of 1.6 children per woman—well below the 2.1 replacement level needed to maintain population without immigration.
The US has remained below replacement level fertility since 2007, with only brief exceptions since the early 1970s. The trend accelerated after the Great Recession and shows no signs of reversing, sparking intense debate about what this means for America’s economic and social future.
The implications extend far beyond birth certificates and hospital delivery rooms. This demographic shift touches every aspect of American life—from the viability of Social Security and Medicare to the future of economic growth, from housing markets to educational systems, from military recruitment to political representation. The babies not being born today represent missing workers, consumers, taxpayers, and innovators of tomorrow.
