Have more children?

During my parent time, the policy was to "stop at 2". Now, 30 years later, it is "have more if you can". The government is going that way so as to solve the problem of an aging population. But is it?

How can you solve the problem of an aging population by having more birth? Would it not mean the same problem will happen again in the future? Furthermore it will be multiplied by the fact that we have a bigger old population then?

There may be an underlying problem here. It is the investments and insurance. As the population get older, there will be more and more pay out. The increase payouts are due to more insurance policy getting mature. These will mean the pool of money get smaller and smaller. Thus to over this situation, they need people to put in more money. Generally speaking who are the likely catagory of people who will put money in? Young people. People with much to lose. So they buy insurance or make "investments".

So as the population gets older, there will be less people to support the "insurance and investments". It will come a time when the pool of money is not enough to support the organization. Then it will collapse. As the population gets older, there will be less people paying taxes. Lesser people to support the tax structure too. It will also face the risk of collapsing if the population does not have the critial mass. Thus Singapore is encourgaing "foregin talent" to come to singapore to take up citizenship to participate in paying taxes and contribute to the "investment" so that those who has invested earlier on can cash out bigger amount of money.

To me, a piece of land is an asset. This piece of land is fix in size. (Ignoring the fact that you can reclaim and rasing sea level is usable land away) How can you create more of this asset by having more people living on it? A piece of land can only support so much people. Tax it too much, it will not be able to support the people for long. Too little people living on the land also means that the full potential is not brought out.

The solution is to keep the population relativly constant. We are wasting away our earth. We must know that resources are limited. Unlike what investment gurus are saying, "I can create wealth". There is only 1 earth. How the fuck are they going to create more wealth? It is just divding the pie into smaller pieces. They they can take more of it. haaaaaaaaaa

The world top few most populated countries. You should follow in China footsteps. Stop at 1. Do not let your population go uncheck. Pushing your citizien out of the country is not a solution. It is only temporary. Evenly spreading the population. Sharing it with other country.

1 earth. Limited resources. Have children so that they will need to fight for a ever smaller portion of the same resouces? Think again.
