it is *not* full. hardly. but I agree with everything else you wrote.
how to overcome that? it's not what used to happen. we used to welcome the influx as we had jobs for people. now, most of our jobs don't necessarily produce a "product" but rather satisfy a "service," hence the service economy. yet, we still do produce lots and CA is the farm for the country.
there are lots of permutations of the "answer" to this question, and none are entirely correct or incorrect. we have to do all of it, and then some. we have to win the population game, it's how we will survive as a nation and a collection of people from disparate backgrounds.
