America Will Hit A Population High of 300 Million at 7:46 AM ET Tuesday

Cause for celebration?

Sadly, I don't think so. We've gone in less than 40 years from a count of 200 million in 1967 to this at a time when:

  • Americans are looking at the first time in our young history when our children may experience a much rougher standard of living than their parents
  • Quality of life is headed down in a fast spiral
  • Health care has never been less affordable
  • There has never been such a huge disparity between the haves and the have-nots
  • We have never been less safe, less polluted, less educated, less skilled
  • American has never been more hated and least respected in the world
And this list only begins to scratch the surface.
