Thank God they made the effort, too.

True. But it does seem that the US system has passed it "sell by date"
with its terminally damaged consitution and maybe the EU can learn
from the failure of the USsystem ( unlikely)...

<sigh, bury head in bucket of sand>



But the USA is doing fine. Europe and Japan are facing economic and
demographic time bombs.

The European and Japanese populations are stable and would start
shrinking in a few years, if it were for the contributions of the
immigrants, whi still breed as if their secuirty in old age was
dependent on their kids rathr than the national social secuirty system.

The U.S. hasn't hit the demographic watershed yet - perhaps because the
social security system isn't too impressive - and its population is
still ballooning, which is a demographic time bomb.

And the U.S. uses twice as much oil per head as the Europeans, which is
an economic time bomb.

Try taking your head out of the sand - we've all got quite a few
problems coming up, and God's only country probably isn't going to be
able to sit them out.
