Under the current economic system we need constant population and economic growth. Either that, or cut all government benefits for the elderly to the bone, and government debt along with it. Or full-on socialism. Not much middle ground.
If it sounds like a destructive ponzi scheme, it is. But believe me, the status quo is easier and kinder in the short term.
