Increasing the size of the economy isn't the best choice, though. We have too many people in the US as it is. More people, more money, more stuff isn't always better. (Using a throwaway since it seems most people think more people and skyscrapers and traffic and higher taxes to compensate for the dwindling resources is wonderful.) No, we don't have unlimited room, unless you're planning to not feed or provide water to these people long term.

    If you want to complain about "too many people", don't you think babies factor into that, somehow?

      Sure they do. I didn't suggest otherwise.

  Ha! Yes, this account is for going against the hive mind. Maybe I'd get less downvotes if I had "throwaway" in the name? Hmmm.
