93 Million???

The U.S. population is about 330 Million.

We must be procreating like rabbits.

During the Today Show coverage of a plane crash in Pittsburgh, I remember Bryant Gumbel asking the on-the-scene journalist, "Can you see an body parts?" Truly a high point for American journalism.

I remember Gumbel's comments on 9/11, while interviewing an eyewitness on the phone, and just SMH at the stupidity....

Gumbel says..."we're not sure at this point whether or not this was intentional". The guy he was interviewing said something to the effect of "It was most definitely intentional, we saw the second plane turn and square up in line with the building, and there appeared to be nothing wrong with it"... Gumbel then says..."what makes you think this was intentional?"

I was killed twice just last week.

Not to make light of this situation in anyway whatsoever but this was an amusing slip of the tongue.

Losing people at that rate is the reason we need open borders.

We're not even reproducing ourselves without immigration, are we?

I don't think we are. Japan is having a problem with this as the population ages and they have fewer kids.

Technically you're intimation is correct. But the amount of immigration needed is significantly lower than current levels. Depending on the measure, we need somewhere in the range of 200K to 350K immigrants annually to maintain our population. Current U.S. fertility rate is something like 1.9 versus a 2.1 replacement rate.

Sick.

But if the Democratic softball team had been shot up, you'd see idiots on the other side saying the same things.

You do realize that stagnation - simply holding our own - is just as bad as a shrinking population, since the base population without immigration ages creating healthcare problems, job gaps, etc., just as Japan has now...

Yes, I realize that the population of Japan is not only aging but also declining. The population declined nearly one million people over a 5-year period.

Stagnation or near-stagnation is just a slower death...

Maybe. The bigger issue seems to be fertility not population growth per se. Population growth in and of itself is not a panacea and can actually negatively impact economic growth.
