Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 4 page paper reviewing and critiquing Lou Dobbs' article, "Population Overload," which appeared in a newsmagazine in 2003, rehashing and updating many of the old complaints originating in the 1960s and 1970s leading to a doom-and-gloom outlook for the future of America. Dobbs correctly identifies many problems facing the US today – overcrowded, inefficient schools; inadequate health care systems; increased pressure on natural resources; urban sprawl; and the pressures of an increasingly large population that chooses not to adopt the language of the land. The problems are real and solution is difficult, uncomfortable or both; but Dobbs insists that America needs to treat symptoms of our problems rather than the causes. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Several years ago the birth rate in the US was only high enough to "replace" those dying at the end of their years and the median age of the population
was older than the current 36.5 years (United States, 2006). Health Care Certainly the problems that Dobbs (2003) identifies are real and have
existed for many years. He takes only a superficial view, however. As example, Dobbs (2003) blames overcrowding for the problems of health care, saying that hundreds "of emergency
