You know, to prove your entire theory wrong all that has to be done is have China change it's 1 child law around, right?
Glad you thought this through.

You are dreaming..
Employment is not getting better..
More people are loosing their benefits and thus are not counted as unemployed..
The Government is also spending more by employing more people which is only an added cost..
Yes the housing market is screwed and quantative easing will drive up inflation while the $$$ continues to tumble..
And again, the derivatives bubble is a time bomb waiting to explode..
When you say losing benefits do you mean someone is working for ATT right now, and ATT is withdrawing their medical insurance, but they are still paying them a salary? If you could please clarify that for me, that would be greatly appreciated.
China's one child policy does shrink it's population. It's one child per two people. Meaning when those two people die off, there is only one child left. China's population growth (49%) is HALF of the US's (96%).

China doesn't have an easy fix for this problem either. It's political strife does not make China an attractive place to live either. Hence, China is losing people to emigration as well. I should have quoted you because now I forgot what else you wrote.

What a silly statement....
Most people end up as grandparents..
The one child policy leads to a roughly stagnant population, not a shrinking population..

Of course China is going to see an immediate growth in their population. However, by 2050 China's estimated population is down 200 million from the 2025 estimation (or if it hits your extraordinarily high-water mark of 1.6 billion 400 million). Why? Because people start dying off. Immediate growth is obvious.edit on 11-5-2011 by Ryanp5555 because: (no reason given)
