Mark: "Corporations will have a hard time passing on there costs." Japan discovered the "new economy" in the 1960's -- they were the first masters of the new economy and for two decades they had the productivity growth to show for it (and rising living standards). The US did not catch on to the new economy until the 1990's and then acted like they invented it. But, just as we f@$#%#ked up our new economy so did they. They engaged in an orgy of stock and land speculation and strutted around like money came out of their butts every time they passed gas -- no more new economy in Japan. They have only one way out -- they need to rediscover what made them great, and that is measured in only one way -- productivity. I visit Japan quite often. I walk the streets and see the eyes of their children -- their young men and women. They are dying. They are dying to find their place in the world. They are dying to be free. They want to be free. Lets wish them luck.
