On an unrelated note, the declining birth rates coupled with stagnating incomes of the next generations should be of massive concern to everyone with significant amounts of money and assets. This will force the cost of assets back down and immensely lower the velocity of money. All of this in my opinion is a good thing. It will starve the wall street beast and put it back in its place.
This probably deserves a thread on its own, if I check the population pyramid in my country, I already see that the men with top spending age (around 46) will decline very sharply over the next years (this is the biggest age group now here). By 1972 the trend of less children really started. People who were born in 1960-1968 still got children, after that, much less.
