Congratulations?
Congratulations…..I think. By this time tommorrow our good old U.S.of A will officially have 300 million Citizens. Wait hold on, those are Legal citizens. It is estimated that the U.S. has roughly 12 million illegal immingrants. Be that it is, its quite large number to take in. Better yet, the projected population in 2050 will be 420 million citizens. From these numbers on Garage Logic today Soucheray determined this was our problem with rising commute’s and the spike in traffic. Is there another undesovered part of this country that I don’t know about yet? Magically going to pop up to make space for all of these people? If so, please, someone tell the Big Guy. What this comes down to is that our cities are going to grow,grow, and grow(obviouslly). Slowing expanding and taking up more land. At that rate we won’t be able to grow enough crops, and recources to take care of ourselves. Is it an Immigration Control problem? Is it the higher life expectancy? Is it another baby boomer phase? I think its a little of all three. How is it possible to let that many illegal immigrants into our country? The life expectancy for the American citizen is 77 years compared to 71 in 1965. More and more younger people are getting married and creating families. I just get worried thinking about how we are going to manage to live our lives if our space to roam, get away, relax is getting smaller by the day. Its a vicious cycle. The citizens keep piling and piling up, space needed for those people, therefore spacing keeps condensing. Now I am not saying to everyone that lives outside of this country "You’re not welcome", I’m simply saying that there needs to be some changes from those "experts" out on the East Coast that make all that money to slow this down a bit. Damage Control people. Have they done the research to see if this country is capable of handling this many people. I hope so, because wether you like it or not, its coming up in our rearview mirror way closer then it appears.
