If the economy is not growing faster than the population then you are actually in a depression. We need to maintain growth faster than we gain people. It is also a sign of opportunity. As long as we are growing there is increased opportunity for prosperity. If the growth stops, then opportunity becomes more limited. Again... depression. Don't want that.
