By refusing to encourage the use of birth control devices and by opposing sex education. Indeed. I was very amused by a Michael Barone piece in US News recently on China. In one paragraph he belabors their population control by estimating that they would have had almost 300M more people (and this is good of course) if they had not had their horrid policies. These extra people are all needed since the population is rapidly ageing, and we all know how woeful Japan and Europe are for the same reason. A few paragraphs later, he blandly says, Whoa are the Chinese, they have 150M unemployed, and how the heck can they employ them effectively? LOL! More to the point, why anyone looks at unnormalised economic growth and calls it growth is beyond me. All US economic and budgetary data should only be reported normalised to avoid a lot of stupid claims (made by both Reps and Dems as it suits their cause).
