if over population is the problem, then why are we feeding the poor, welfare for the pooor, why not just execute all the prison inmates, why do we care about police brutality and wearing seatbelt, make all drugs legal. why should we care
Nope. The birth rate is in free fall in many countries around the world, particularly in Asia and South America. Many first world nations are set to see a sharp decline in their populations due to extremely low birth rates.
Africa and the Middle East regions however, have seen a persistently high birth rate. I know the population of Africa is expected to triple by 2050. The rapid population growth arises a problem in this continent because the majority of the population is extremely poor and the growth will only exasperate poverty and hunger. This will also lead to slower and decayed economic growth.
The larger first world nations like Australia, the US, Canada and Germany need a high birth rate. High birth rates and steady population growth will lead to better economic growth because we are a healthier society. Policies should be dictated in this country so that we lock up the borders, all the illegals are deported and a high birth rate among Americans is encouraged. We have lots of room to grow. Same goes for the other places I mentioned. We don't want the Muslims to overtake us.
