People aren't having kids, cause they're BROKE as a joke! The prosperity has been sucked from this country, now people have pets instead of kids. 

I'm a nearly 40 year old man who's: 1) broke, but also 2) not willing to inflict this terrible world onto others. And why does the US government care so much about the US population increasing? One reason and one reason only — Uncle Sam needs a steady supply of young people to sacrifice to the Pentagram, err, the Pentagon. Same reason why communist China had totally reversed its One Child Policy: a whole generation of Chinese parents absolutely refuses to engage the Chinese military in any war out of a fear of losing their one precious child. In other words, every communist Chinese soldier is "Ryan" from the movie "Saving Private Ryan." Consequently, the Chinese government is now demanding more and more children so that more and more soldiers can be conscripted to fight and die in a war for Taiwan or anything else.  Meanwhile, idiot American parents happily salute-through-tears as the olive drab military bus drives off into the sunset with their first- and second-born sons inside, heading towards Camp Lejeune or Camp Pendleton to fight in YET ANOTHER bankers' war.

Its the same in canada, EVERYTHING has been set up so that it NEEDS an ever increasing population to function. Its a poor way to run a country and monetary system. A stable population should be fine, or even a slow reduction. The issue is we keep trying for infinite growth, which never works, and its destroying the average person's standard of living. This country was better when there were half as many people living here.
