if you want to blame something for the current situation of not enough young people to support the elderly, it is the invention of birth control and not enough (regulated) immigration to make up for it.

but that's probably too intellectual and scientific for all right wing idiots to understand

but if you really want to, you can read it up
Another liberal who believes a country needs more people to survive.

It's not the number of people that determines an economy. It's the amount of money in their pockets. Today a growing population = more debt as most of those new people are unemployed or on low wages. GDP per capita, the average wage of the bottom 80%, the amount spent on benefits. Proves me right. As more jobs are taken away from a society the last thing it needs is more people to feed.

Compare the countries that supply the cheap jobs with the ones that lost them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._growth_ rate

It might show you why I'm right.
