Originally posted by GeorgeI keep reading about how good it is that we have a 'healthy' growth in population. The argument being that more young people are needed to pay taxes to support the ageing population. These young will eventually grow old and need even more young to support them. A Ponzi scheme for sure. In reality there isn't enough real productive (i.e. private sector) work to go around so many of these people will either work for the state in some way or will be claiming benefits, adding to an already creaking system.Comment

It is perfectly normal for the older gits to start bemoaning how the the country is declining - I have heard it from parents and grandparents in the past. It is just a sign that it is time for you to hand responsibility for the future over to the next generation.Comment
