When times are hard on the farm, more children lead to more labor leading to surplus.  When times are hard for wage earners, the obvious answer is to have less children.  Is it any wonder that the Baby Boom ended when it did, our post war colonial wealth extraction model sputtering and dying?  1945 to 1965 was a time of actual wealth sharing, a mistake the elite quickly realized and never repeated.  Of course there were going to be more child born, because to non farmers children are an expensive luxury.  Reduce that cost through subsidy or increased wages and you get more children ( and you can’t just give parents free births and time off from work.  The whole eighteen years must be accounted for ).

*

Is it any wonder that immigration laws changed at the same time the Baby Boom ended?  Our economy needs new bodies, and if the indigenous population won’t cooperate you open the boarders.  More bodies is exactly what our Growth Paradigm needed and they got them one way or another.  As our Latino population ( initially immigrating legally or immigrating illegally and then getting amnesty to magically turn legal ) came in and starting breeding under improved resource conditions ( to Whites, resources had contracted.  To Latinos, coming from the poor nations, conditions had improved.  Perception of wealth decides births ), our Latino Baby Boom replaced Whites for population growth.

*

This was adding complexity to save resources.  We needed more bodies, so rather than have those in place procreate, you  add in layers of activity for lower wage jobs ( service verses manufacturing ), increased housing ( petroleum product plastics in place of natural materials ), increased food supply ( Green Revolution ), increased prisons and everything else you’d need.  The financial system is saved ( remember, growth pays interest ). 

*

But now we have run into a problem.  Latino birth rates just stumbled.  I’m going by memory here, but it went from something like 2.8 children per woman to 2.3, with 2.2 being ONLY replacement rate.  That means the next small dip in births and the reliable Energizer Bunny Baby Boom Latino Version miracle is gone.  Now, look at the places suffering the worst economically in the US.  Say, California and Michigan.  What do these places have in common?  Increased immigration.  Muzzies back east and Asians in Cali ( along with tons of other minority types ).

*

It almost looks like the worse the economy the more desperate the “solution” of immigration, as if more consumers and more downward pressure on wages will solve the problem of a welfare state needed to attract immigrants.  As I said at the end of the last article, this is the point where the added complexity meeting drastically falling net energy is starting to accelerate the collapse.  All the complexity we used to extend the beginning of the collapse is now feeding the acceleration of that collapse.  Remember, in an energy contraction, the infrastructure in place is the only option since you have nothing to build the new one, however desirable that new one would be.

*

The solution to the last financial collapse falling population would have brought accelerated resource contraction, and the only solution to the problem of resource collapse is to use the solution already in place for the last financial collapse.  Immigration.  It doesn’t matter that this makes the problem worse, it is the only “solution infrastructure” we are able to utilize.  Banks failing as businesses failed because lack of growth led them to be unable to pay their loans was solved by immigration getting more hands on deck.  Population growth.  What DIDN’T cause collapse was the higher housing cost, higher food prices, higher medical costs and etcetera that population growth causes. 

*

But all those increasing costs from fifty years ago, and those fifty years of falling wages?  Now they have gotten to the point that they are making it too expensive for immigrants to have enough kids.  You can only penny pinch so much before you simply don’t have enough pennies.  Why do you think immigrants were allowed to swim over and pop a kid for free on welfare?  It was because it was getting far more expensive for recent immigrants not on welfare to have kids.  Now the cost, just in the last three to five years, has gotten so insane even the welfare baby card can’t make up for the falling birth rates.  For far too many, a baby is nothing but a luxury. 

*

And again, it is not that they don’t have ANY, it is that they don’t have enough.  When the industrial age closes down, we’ll still have SOME oil, just not enough.  If immigrants aren’t having enough babies, the whole solution now reverts to a problem.  And why has medical costs been driven so high?  Because the bankers are the insurance industry, and the whole point of having insurance for a businessman is to NOT pay out on any claims.  The higher the medical costs the more people don’t file a claim, even after paying premiums.  And why are bankers killing all their future income streams?  Because it is collapse now or collapse later.  Which would you choose?

*

And why screw over immigrants with high medical costs if they kept the economy going?  Same thing.  Lower medical costs and the financial collapse happens now.  Increase them and the collapse happens later.  Easy choice.  And yes, I know there are a whole lot of other variables than just insurance.  Increased welfare hospitals eat so illegals have more babies.  Opiates placate the otherwise restless unemployed and they are profitable ( get the employed to pay for the welfare patients drugs through higher costs ).  The medical industry is 20% of the GDP.  Between them and government spending, you have the majority of the economy either failing or artificially boosted ( fake wars are a great stimulus for official spending.  Collapse now or collapse later.  War causes deficits to crash the economy, but NOT running the deficit shuts down economic activity now ). 

*

And etcetera.  At this point, falling birth rates are just another minor problem.  Individually you should care because it is such a good canary in the coal mine.  Creating a new problem to solve an old one is fine.  It is called kicking the can down the road.  The problems get worse when you create a problem to solve an old problem and then three other problems show up.  Which it seems this is the point we are now at.  No more cans to kick?
