I didn't say the world wasn't overpopulated. I told you about a program that was put in place here by our previous government. I don't necessarily agree with it on the surface, but the reason was because of a declining birthrate in this country. Down to way less than two kids per couple.

It comes down to long term productivity. If we have industries which require a certain number of staff, and then 10 or 20 years down the track there simply aren't any people to work the jobs, then where does that leave us?
