But the same.
How soon we forget. MITI had a 100 year plan. They were buying up Hawaii.. Mitsubishi was getting into aerospace. Hitachi was taking over the computer industry. Rockefeller Center was bought at top dollar. The Tokyo real estate market was a never ending source of credit for more and more investment. They were buying most of US Treasury bills and making us a debtor nation.. A manufacturing powerhouse, a high tech wonderland. The best school system, the longest working hours... We were done, kaput, washed up!
