It is a possible theory but the governemnt is not efficient enough yet as morality plays too much of an influence on it. Euthanasia is quite a profitable concept. Older or sick people who are eating away at medical insurance (therefore not being productive individuals and spreading the money to the people) are definitely harmful for the economy, yet they are discouraged from killing themselves. Babies are also a very profitable concept. Babies being born means new taxpayers, it means more consumption, it means that the two working parents will purchase more goods and work more and therefore pay lots and lots more taxes. Actually, in every respect it would seem that more people is better unless the economy is suffering and there is mass unemployment, which would make new members of society a burden. However laws about killing do not switch back and forth based on the economy (except in China maybe). So although your theory may implement itself in the future, it definitely is not in place now.
