"too many of us and we're unable to live within our means"
To me a change of practices would be far more preferable to eugenics, which itself is a horrendously ugly option and a proxy for stupidity. Even with 90% of the population murdered, who's to say the same problems wouldn't reappear some time further in the future when the population reaches current levels again.
It's entirely possible to say "there are too many people on the Earth" and not believe in eugenics at the same time without being contradictory. Strongly implying that they're one and the same isn't conducive to progress.
To me, the OP's statement read as "we have too many people for the resources/practices we have at the moment", which means a change of practices is most likely our best (only?) option.
We have too many stupid people, or rather stupid people in power. And with that, we have evil as its replacement.
But my suggestion would be people try to awaken to their lifeforce which is infinite, (just like the cosmos) and then to look at places with the highest and then lowest birthrates: to lower birthrates you raise standards of living, right, you don't kill people?

The other option is simply population control like China does it. One child per couple doesn't rock, but it's better than a lot of other options.
