The issue is that a lot of countries have based everything around growth, including population. Pensions is a big one, another one is care for elders. It's not a problem if we had eased up to say 1 billion and stayed there, but the rate of change is quite abrupt. |

And it is very, very ,very clear this is a horribly stupid and shortsighted thing to do. It is simply impossible to have constant growth, clearly it is unsustainable.
The system HAS to change. It might be from a slow and steady decline, or it might be a very abrupt change, but it's going to change one way or another.
