Europe to lose 75 million people

Woah you would think that the USA is the country on the decline with all the harsh talk against America, but the fact is USA is growing and Europe is declining! WTF?
------------------------------
The U.S. is the fastest growing industrialized nation in the world, adding about 2.8 million people a year. That's a little less than 1 percent, but enough to mitigate the kinds of problems facing Japan and many European countries.

Europe, with 728 million people, saw its population shrink by 74,000 since the beginning of the decade, according to the United Nations. By 2050, it is projected to lose a total of 75 million people.
