" Optimism, yes. However, I understand that 70% of the population increase in the 1990's came from immigration, not baby boomers having lots of expensive little moments of optimism". Pete, You just made an amazing point regarding the success of the US economy. It's because folks vote with their feet in the US, that keeps us ahead of the pack. Otherwise we would become just another country. Its the immigration of motivated folks who either become or produce the kids that become the core of the next tech advance + the low end, uneducated workers that provide us with the folks who work the minimum wage jobs that noone else will do. mike
