The United States set an all-time low for births in 2025, and it’s clear that we are nowhere near rock bottom unless lawmakers take resolute action to support families.
The Centers for Disease Control announcement arrived not as a surprise, but as a final warning. For decades, the federal government ignored the slow-motion collapse of the American family. While Washington prioritized corporate subsidies and globalist trade deals, the foundational unit of our society withered under the weight of rising costs and a culture that views parenthood as a burden. The signing of President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) marks a decisive end to this era of neglect. By expanding the Child Tax Credit and establishing Trump Accounts, this administration recognizes that the survival of the American family must be the primary objective of national policy.
