Don't be too sure of that, most first-world countries have, immigration not counted, dropping birth rates. I imagine it'll soon stabilize, thank God.

If it doesn't, we'll have to resort to China-like child policies. The oil peak is already going to be a bitch to survive with our current population, ideally I'd say we should have about half that if we want to maintain anything even vaguely resembling our current standard of living. Probably a quarter if we actually want to maintain it.
