18% decline (2.1 births over\u00a0a females childbearing years\u00a0is considered zero growth).\u00a0 This has resulted in 4.5 million fewer net\u00a0births in the US\u00a0since 2007\u00a0than the Census had estimated in 2000 and again in\u00a02008.\u00a0 <strong>This is over an entire years worth of births that never took place.\u00a0<\/strong> The sharp decline in births, against an anticipated rise, and a\u00a0deceleration from anticipated immigration has resulted in the Census downgrading US population growth through 2050 by over 50 million persons (detailed\u00a0<a

among the \u201cwealthy nations\u201d, leaving little growth opportunity for the \u201cpoor nations\u201d<\/strong> (detailed\u00a0<a

lowest incomes and assets.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0From\u00a02007 through 2016, Native American\u00a0fertility rates have collapsed from 1.62 to 1.23.\u00a0 Hispanic birthrates have fallen from 2.85 to just 2.1.\u00a0 Black birthrates have turned lower from 2.15 to about 1.9 and white birthrates from 1.95 to 1.72.\u00a0 Again, these birthrates are only through 2016\u00a0and the declines in 2017 and 2018 are significant and accelerating downward.<\/p>\n<p>The reason for fast declining birthrates since 2007\u00a0in the US and among most nations globally seems to be the current ZIRP and low interest rates and Quantitative Easing programs which have the effect of inflating asset prices.\u00a0 <strong>The majority of assets are held by large institutions and post-child-bearing age populations.\u00a0 The flow through of these policies\u00a0are asset prices\u00a0rising significantly\u00a0faster than incomes.<\/strong>\u00a0 For example, non-discretionary items like homes,
