Will Hispanics rescue the U.S. economy?


Here's an article that just begs for a comment or a response article from Random Ammo contributor, John D. Karam

SANTA FE, NM (By Charles Garcia, CNN) January 28, 2012 ― For the last 20 years, what name is always in the top 100 most popular baby names given to boys in the United States? Jesus (pronounced hey-seus). And among 4,500 boys names in England in 2009, what was the No. 1 most popular baby name? Mohammed. In Brussels? Mohammed. Oslo? Mohammed. Amsterdam? Mohammed. And what do babies and their names have to do with the global economy? Everything.

The currency of the future is babies, because babies grow up to be taxpaying workers. Let's do Demography 101, which is basically the study of baby-making. Demographers have a fancy term called "total fertility rate," which measures the average number of babies a woman has over her childbearing years.

There's Something Happening Here

In a 1966 song by Buffalo Springfield titled “For What It’s Worth”, writer Stephen stills notices:

“There's something happening here, What it is ain't exactly clear.”

Arizona residents might wonder how, in 2011, Arizona State Senate President and author of Arizona Senate Bill 1070, Russell Pearce, was decisively defeated in a recall election by an unknown named Jerry Lewis?  And how is it that Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney and Republican U.S. Senate candidate Jeff Flake might actually lose to their Democratic rivals in Arizona - a Republican state? Is there something happening here?
