Would you mind if we re-published your comment at our political and social opinion website (we can link back to the comment here in this Steemit article)?:

As you probably know the government does give financial assistance to the poor in the US though, but it's not the same as European welfare systems and mostly seems to be time limited as far as I can find out, e.g. the SNAP program. From wikipedia:

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program

Quote:

SNAP benefits cost $70.9 billion in fiscal year 2016 and supplied roughly 44.2 million Americans (14% of the population)[2] with an average of $125.51 for each person per month in food assistance

Also this:

21.3 Percent of U.S. Population Participates in Government Assistance Programs Each Month

On your demographics point yes there is a big problem in that the number of white European women still of child bearing age is not encouraging. The exact number may be hard to find thanks to the suppression of such data, I have not found any info. on that. I have come across some gloomy assessments that the population won't ever recover, and it's certainly looking bleak today.
