>>Hang on there AC, what about we aliens? There are 5 billion of us [and another billion or so somewhere] bustling away, economically active, producing steel, sheep, wine, Toyotas and stuff to export to the USA.<<

And believe me, we appreciate it. Someone has to do the hard work of making all the basic stuff that we need.

>>They are driving the current prosperity of the USA<<

Now hold on a minute there, Kiwi. Are the 5 billion here in the US, living in our 4,000 sq. foot houses, driving our SUVs with their 6.8l, 10 cylinder engines, drinking our $4 Starbucks coffees? Noooo. Keep shipping the lamb chops, but don't get carried away! It's the US boomers who are driving the US boom. hsdent.com
