There are fifty million Americans between the ages of twenty and thirty (ball park). That’s twenty-five million couples to provide the next generation of Americans. The problem is they won’t get married and have kids. Why? Well, several reasons. Feminism, internet porn and the cost of living. The first two are more in the way of being negative drags on the process of marriage. But the last is more like a road block. The cost of housing is too high and the mortgage rates are too high. Okay, that is the current situation. But this has to be fixed and right away. The clock is ticking and all those twenty-five million female biological clocks are winding down. And this is the last chance to fix this before America just sort of fades away. What’s needed is a baby boom.
How do you make that happen? Well, it’s quite simple. We need a moonshot for a baby boom. The government has to do a bunch of things:
- Bring back good paying jobs for men (Trump is actually working on this one already).
- Make houses affordable (this involves two separate things; lower interest rates for young couples buying their first house and incentivize home building)
- Government incentives to married women staying home and raising kids.
- Federal tuition vouchers to allow parents to take their kids out of the public schools.
- A propaganda program to convince young women that working in an office is slavery and that raising kids is the most important job in the world (because it is).
- Get rid of no-fault divorce.
- Tax incentives to corporations to hire married men.
I call this a moonshot because it will cost trillions. Between the mortgages and the tax incentives it will be as expensive as the GI Bill of Rights after WWII and the Great Society rolled into one. But it’s a matter of necessity. This country is bleeding out. We’re already shrinking from the point of view of children and that’s even considering all the immigrant kids walking around today. Another generation and immigrants will be all that’s left and that won’t really be America anymore. It’ll be post-America.
So that’s the direction our leaders have to be going if they want to keep this experiment going. Some of this stuff is being put in place by Orban in Hungary. Trump is working his way in the right direction but it will take more than a few years to institute. But first it has to be on the radar of the people in charge. I know there are people aware of the critical problem of population loss. But unfortunately, the millennial generation is the biggest part of the problem. They’ve been brainwashed into thinking there are already too many humans. So, it’s not clear which side will win this fight.
Personally, I hope to see as many great-grandchildren as possible in my family. Maybe I’ll have to start an incentive program of my own. Maybe I’ll sell the Compound and buy a multi-family that I can turn into condos for the grandkids. You’ve got to start somewhere.
