AMERICA’S BABY BUST
There was a time in our history when we had a Baby Boom. The years from 1946 – 1964 were baby boom years which caused rises in the demand for homes, automobiles, roads, and services. The more births the more the country expands financially.
I recently read this article about how we now have a Baby Bust. It was published in the Wall Street Journal and taken from the book by Jonothan Last: "What to Expect When No One's Expecting: American's Coming Demographic Disaster." This book begins with a quote from Viktor Orban, the Prime Minister of Hungary :
“Demography is the key factor. If you are not able to maintain yourself biologically, how do you expect to maintain yourself economically, politically, and militarily? It’s impossible. The answer of letting people from other countries come in … that could be an economic solution, but it’s not a solution of your real sickness, that you are not able to maintain your own civilization.”
The following article reveals that America is need of babies. God has already revealed this to us. Isaiah 45:18 says: “For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, HE FORMED IT TO BE INHABITED: I am the LORD; and there is none else.” This is God’s blessing. He created an earth which is capable of providing for all the inhabitants that He sends!
We know it is God’s heart to give children but it’s interesting to read this subject from s secular point of view.
