Every member of Congress who supports this program of massive government mandated population growth should have an obligation to explain to the American people why he or she believes that this country will be better off with a population of a billion people within the lifetimes of today's children. We should not be surprised that the same people who are burdening the next generation with $9 trillion in debt from irresponsible government spending think nothing of mortgaging the natural resources and the environment of future generations in order to satisfy the demands of a handful of special interests today. Overpopulation in America is not an inevitability. If it happens it will be a conscious choice of irresponsible leadership that is willing to sacrifice the long-term interests of the nation for political expedience.
