Or it could mean we end up with lot of people without work or income so the government steps in and raises our taxes so they can hand out money to those who no longer have jobs and so the cost of living goes back up again.

I have no idea if either of those scenarios would happen but you just never know.

22 December 2013 - Finansminister Anders Borg (M) announces that either taxes will have to be raised or re-prioritized spending , reports Swedish Radio www.sr.se . He states that the Government will give priority to bring in immigrants in the labor market . – We will need to look at tax increases or prioritize on spending, says finance minister to state radio.
First result on Brave Search. DuckDuckGo is all about how immigrants pay taxes. Google is dead to me.

There is always a third [or fourth] scenario:

The wasteful society subsidizes development and manufacture of the necessary metamaterials to enable magnetohydrodynamic and electrohydrodynamic propulsion.



I still remember when all that reasearch went dark. I was still in high school.

Ultimately we will achieve mandkind's age old dream of sending wood and brass ships to Outer Space.
