If a family can produce enough income to have 5 kids, go for it, have a ball. If you cannot afford them, you are a drain on society, not a benefit to it.
So in your mind, a negative population growth is something the government would be okay with?
The government ponzi scheme depends upon population growth.
I, however do agree about the drain on society part. The wrong demographics are doing most of the breeding.
