Paid (reversible) sterilization was the answer. It's probably too late for that now. The economy is a pyramid scheme, requiring an ever expanding population base (or global warming taxes) to stay afloat.
Why reversible? You mean you get paid to be sterilized and then if you change your mind, you pay whatever you got to begin with (with interest) to be allowed to have a child? I like it. Certain types would jump at it and then never be able to come up with the scratch to reverse course. I leave the identification of "certain types" as an exercise to the reader.
The procedure doesn't need to be a permanent sterilization, unless it's voluntary, perhaps for a bonus payout.
With all the money blown on welfare and food stamps just to keep the poor in perpetual poverty, the sterilization payouts would be a relative bargain by comparison, and are the compassionate and humane solution.
I understand that but if you're paid to get sterilized, even temporarily, you'd have to pay back whatever amount the government paid you in the first place if you changed your mind, right?
