300 million strong?

The Census Bureau officially pegged the resident population of the United States at about 297,900,000. The bureau estimates that with a baby being born every 8 seconds, someone dying every 12 seconds and the nation gaining an immigrant every 31 seconds on average, the population is growing by one person every 14 seconds. The United States will hit 300,000,000 sometime next fall.
