do you judge america's greatness based on gdp or on bottom line economics? that's not what makes a country great. when the liberal neo-conservatives wake up to this reality, and cease their slavish devotion to economic theories they will have matured into real conservatives.

Economically disadvantage ( by American standards ) blacks in America are better off than the average Swede. Yea but they have "free" health care. The median income of African American households was about 70 percent of the median for all U.S. households while Swedish households earned 68 percent of the overall U.S. median level. This meant that Swedes stood "below groups which in the Swedish debate are usually regarded as poor and losers in the American economy," Bergstrom and Gidehag said. Between 1980 and 1999, the gross income of Sweden's poorest households increased by just over six percent while the poorest in the United States enjoyed a three times higher increase, HUI said. biz.yahoo.com
