ways to increase procreation: differential tuition (illegal aliens, education, billion, world)

[Costaexpress]

many countries face an aging problem. they won't have enough young people. China may get old before they get rich.

how about the following way to encourage population growth:
1. Those with only one child pays full college tuition
2. Those with two children pay half tuition each.
3. Those with three children pay no tuition. This threshhold must be big enough to make that jump from 2 to 3, which would solve the aging problem.

There is no problem and anyone who wants a college education can pay for it themselves.

Uh; college degrees ain't what they used to mean. Too; there will ALWAYS skilled tradespeople needed.

China can blame themselves for that one- Germany too maybe what goes around??? There are more than enough people to occupy empty spaces left by the elderly.

Oh my god. Including the US?

No. No. No no no no NO.

Should be the other way around. There are already too many people for a future job market that will be shrunk by globalization and technology.

The goal should be to reduce the US population.

We need more people? 7 billion aren't enough?

Take away the illegal aliens and their breeding; the US would already have a below replacement birthrate.

A world with too many OLD people and few young people may be a problem. Now you know why Europe needs immigrants.

Ah yes, the Ponzi scheme called "socialism".

[The Dark Enlightenment]

The goal should not be general population growth but to specifically encourage smart people to reproduce. Without some kind of positive eugenics policy we may be headed for a global dark age.
Give people who have themselves reached a certain level of education and/or test at a certain IQ level incentives to have more children. Promising that their children would get free tuition would be one way to do it among many.
