300,000,000 AND COUNTING

(sigh)

Once again, we have lost our collective minds in this country. While watching the news last night I viewed a clip from the Census Bureau from yesterday morning celebrating with loud applause the turning of the population board to 300 million of us Americans (well, it's most likely 200 million actual Americans and 100 million illegals). They even had refreshments to celebrate the occasion.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE???????????????????

Yeah, yeah....I heard all the "positives" and I don't buy into a single one of them. The key argument for celebrating our population increase is that we need babies to continue to be born so they may support the elder population down the road. Pffffffft! All we need is adequate tax reform so we keep more of our earnings to save and/or invest for our retirements, and some restraint on fiscal spending.

Hmmm....maybe we DO need more babies. We're never gonna get either tax reform or fiscal responsibility.

(sigh)

We should adopt the Chinese practice of only one child per couple, and it's not as draconian as it sounds either!
