There is no debate about the fact that, in 1950, when the unemployment rate was 5.3 percent, the 1950 census report indicated the population was 150 million. And, in 2010, the census report records 308 million — more than double — and the unemployment rate is at 7.8 percent.

Doesn’t anybody realize that we will never get below 6 percent again until we do something about birth control and illegal immigration?
