Depends on who is making the babies.

If making babies was all that it took, South America would be rich.

The best social security is what the bible calls “turning the hearts of the fathers to the sons and the hearts of the sons to the fathers.” Of course that goes for both genders and also for some voluntary intergenerational charity.

Whoever believes that a free market economy requires an ever-expanding population in order to succeed agrees with the liberals and commies that the free market is a Ponzi scheme.

The free market should work regardless of the population size and the population growth or decrease if it is indeed the most efficient way to match buyers and sellers.

Either this guy is a closet commie or else capitalism is as Chesterton claimed, just the flip-side of the materialist coin. The other side being socialism.

The USA pays every female with a second grade education who is also void of any parenting skills to open her legs to varied baby daddies and create future nonworking welfare generations.

So far this hasn't worked for us IMO.

Meanwhile if you are not government supported and want more kids you find it maybe to costly to afford more kids in this current big government world.
