The U.S. population is on track for its slowest decade of growth since the Great Depression.

The Census Bureau estimates there will be 315.1 million people living in the country on New Year’s Day, a 0.73 percent rise from last year’s estimate and 2.05 percent more than the most recent census count in April 2010. At the current pace, the nation’s population will grow by 7.3 percent during the decade, the lowest level since the 7.25 percent increase recorded between 1930 and 1940, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

The slow rate of growth during the first part of the decade indicates the U.S. continues to emerge slowly from the worst economic downturn since the 1930s. The nation’s birth rate and immigration fell in the aftermath of the 2007-09 recession. Between 2000 and 2010, the Census Bureau reported the nation’s population grew by 9.7 percent.

    Some women look at the population growth rate as GOOD for America , however look at abortion from our enemies viewpoint as well as Obama and his minions. We now have 57 million murders of babies . Babies who when they grow up would have worked to help our economy AND some to choose a military carrier. Now we have 57 or so babies who might end up protecting America like those born years ago do now.
    Obama is developing his “personal army” .WHY ??? Our future troops will be 50 or so million new troops.Could he have planned a better plan for taking on America to serve this King in waiting ?
    And the Jews ? What Jews??? He will have accepted Hitler’s program of a final solution.
    How many fools who voted for this imposter will still think they did the right thing ? I voted for the real American.
