This plan is going to backfire so hard. A vibrant economy is one with maximum amount of participants. The right wants people to reproduce, but what insane person would reproduce under the current fascist regime? Immigration is the only hope for mature economies to avoid Japan and other graying countries’ fate.
Yes, if we all stand shoulder to shoulder and eat nothing but rice we can fit billions more in here. Then we can get wages low enough to afford some real corporate progress!
What if our economy has more than the maximum amount of participants? There appears to be a housing shortage, and other daily necessities feel more expensive every day. Not to mention that AI is already here and is being used as an excuse to destroy jobs that people once had. How can one meaningfully participate in an economy when their job is gone? Gig work? Unemployment? That doesn't feel like the building blocks of a 'vibrant' economy.

You forgot "wealthy", because who can afford food and rent and rely on continuing to be able to do so?
Surely mass immigration will fix the affordability problems!
