The issue isn't net overall population, but rather the distribution of said net overall population. There is actually going to be less people in the workforce to pay for an increasing population of people outside of the work force. Hence that generation doesn't get fully replaced all the while the government has been spending its days the past few years lopping on more entitlements.
