I'm disappointed. If I am correct about your position Len.....then you believe America's prosperity has peaked, and that we all need to accept a lower standard of affluence in the upcoming world economy. We will buy less cars, drive less miles, eat less expensive foods, buy less electronics, repair rather than replace shoes, etc. Because we are doomed. We are not sufficiently productive to warrant our high standard of living.

That's sad. And not particularly proud of, or optimistic about, your fellow Americans. Unpatriotic.
