agree 100% but no reason to freak out now. US is about 30% of world gdp and consumer is 70% of that or roughtly 20% of world gdp. 500mm european consumers are less than 20% of the world gdp i imagine. You make a great point about china, india et al. Those dudes will be spending money like its going out of style. Dynamic economies have dynamic consumers. US needs to encourage immigration at skilled levels to compete long term. Know nothing, anti immigration, isolationism that i think you sometimes propound is not the answer. We need to keep our women at the malls at all costs. And we men must work until we are removed from the workplace feet first. Since we are talking, i would ask you to join sarman and myself in supporting the peace process in the mideast. Sarman admits keeping the jewish nature of the israeli state is key on that side while returning all land taken post 67 with some swaps that makes sense to both sides. Also EJ capital of new Pal. No terror. No occupation. ROR traded in for payments to affected pals from israel, oil rich arab states, and the west. And so on. Do you buy into this?
