America chooses a mix of either:

a.) maintaining free markets with a move toward Third World social amenities here in the US, the Bush approach;

b.) choosing the model of Switzerland with regulated borders, higher costs, higher wages, and a higher level of amenities.

Switzerland lacks the dynamic hubbub and zest of most Third World nations, but most Swiss don't seem to mind.
They can go there and visit on holidays.


Count my vote for the free markets. And as far as Switzerland vs the Third World, I'll take the Third World anytime - I couldn't get out of Switzerland fast enough when I had the misfortune to travel there on business.

And as far as the "higher level of amenities" goes, if one of you socialists can get the fat-assed American construction crew (with the great pay and benefits) to finish rebuilding (before I die) the pot hole ridden highway going to my mother's house in New York, I may be more inclined to listen to what you have to say.

Otherwise, take your amenities and your notion of what is good for all Americans and shove it.
