Rascal, you have articulated very well and I agree with what you say about the global economic factors that should play a role. What I am not sure about is that if we need to put a lid on the US economy and wait for the rest of the world to catch up. After all the world at large is a beneficiary of the prosperity here in the US. I have been a beneficiary of that myself having been raised in a third world country. The PL480 during the Kennedy years and thereafter fed the world. The agricultiral revolution here in the US at that time was instrumental in doing that. If somebody tried to slow it down then the world would have suffered. Similarly, the US is undergoing the revolution of the next millenium; the computing and information technological revolution. Rascal, I agree that we need to be cognizant of the other social changes that need to take place worldwide to match the demands of the US growth. And I am sure they will. The people worlwide are very smart and will very soon realize that they need to move with the times. But how do we get there. Free enterprise with no harness. That is the true spirit; automobile, aircraft and now information.
