over-population and US politics

Why won't the USA put a halt to over-populating? There aren't enough jobs now or in the near future for everyone. And with people coming to America 'illegally' there aren't even enough manual jobs. OK, America needs to internalize job growth. But in the meantime, there is no magic wand or enough spending to create enough jobs to make a dent in the real 20+ % unemployment. Jobs grow organically not by throwing money at them. That in and of itself should force people to limit the number of children per family. That was the result in the 1930's depression. Average family size dropped to around 0.8 to 1.2 children - not enough to maintain a population.

But over population continues. And here are some of the WHYs that I believe will keep our planet over-populating until some disaster naturally takes out hundreds of millions or billions of people - just like the plague in middle ages or the flu in the early 1900s.

There is the religious side. "Go forth and multiple" are words in every bible. But when that was written, the entire human population was at most a few million - probably much less. Today's 7,500,000,000 population has shown we have multiplied too successfully. So we will get no help in reducing the population from the religious side.

And then there is the two religious factions - Judeo-Christian and muslim; both with about 2,000,000,000 each. The difference is that the muslims are having multiple babies everywhere for political reasons and the Judeo-Christians are reducing the number of children per family. - The political implications could change the world as we know it. Either way, the population will continue to grow and the food and fresh water supplies will lessen.

Then there are the liberals who need support from poor and ethnic people to maintain their numbers in Congress. - No help here will ever be coming in reducing the population. In fact they want to increase the population for those very reasons.

And when you consider the transfer of jobs to non-USA countries and the need for employment here in the USA just to pay the taxes for both the budget deficit and social security, you begin to see that the USA has boxed Herself into a over-population corner for decades to come.

Anyone have a solution??? Would love to hear any rational solution.

And that's the way I see it...
