Just look to Europe for a clue what will happen when our demographics switch to "reired." I think much of their pro Arab stance is due in large part, besides being antisemites, to the large immigration from the Middle East of folks who want jobs. People here will probably do the same. We'll open our borders rather than see prices double on things from lawn care to auto repair.

look another article saying Google is looking for a 16 billion valuation. Wow. "Their timing is terrific," a technology investment banker said. "Search is very hot right now, they have great momentum. It's a weak IPO market and there's tremendous focus on Google." Another person familiar with Google's plans said the company is aiming for a valuation of about $16 billion, a percentage of which would be sold to the public. By comparison in the Internet world, Yahoo Inc. (YHOO) has a market capitalization of about $26 billion and Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) about $22 billion. Only 53 public offerings in history have exceeded $1 billion, IPO analyst John Fitzgibbon said. news.moneycentral.msn.com
