But our population can't increase steadily forever. That trend HAS to end or even reverse at some point.

I understand increases in productivity enable support for a larger population- but that's not a bottomless well. There are insurmountable practical limitations.

Well, the US population can continue to grow until overcrowding becomes a problem, or food becomes a problem, or energy becomes a problem, or nobody wants to live here anymore. The first three seem a long way out; the fourth might arrive sooner...
