A BOOK REVIEW

A staggering 100 percent of U.S. governors, senators, members of the House of Representatives, mayors, major newspaper publishers, editors and the current president of the United States ignore America’s greatest crisis in the 21st century. Every presidential candidate ignores it from one end of this country to the other!

Across America, citizens go about their daily activities oblivious to the ominous consequences bequeathed to their children. Few think about or react to toxic air pollution, traffic gridlock, crowding and climate change.

What is this problem? Short answer: addiction ..to human population growth!

Each day, America adds 8,200 more people. Annually, America grows by 3.1 million people. The U.S. Census Bureau predicts America to add 100 million people by 2040. Whether it’s sooner or later, no matter how far down the wrong road you travel, stop! Turn around; go back and find a better path.

“THE POPULATION FIX: Breaking America’s Addiction to Population Growthâ€

Another good reason to support the SAVE Act - H.R. 4088. It forces companies to verify all social security numbers and provides money for border enforcement. It's phased in over four years and isn't linked to a pathway to citizenship. It lowes the population of illegal aliens and starts the process of eliminating the "job magnet".

I agree with everything in the article. What's this fascination with a growing economy? I'll tell you what it is, it's all about greed - from the money movers on Wall Street to the manufacturing industry - it's all about more financial wealth for the already wealthy. The rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer. Those of us in between (middle class) are being squeezed out of the equation. How much squeezing can the middle class take before they cease to exist? Everything around us seems to be going up in cost (not value), however, our wages are remaining stable at best and decreasing at worst.

I too prefer the idea of striving for a stable economy.

We will not see a change, unless we change free trade & globalization.
