Anyone who thinks the American political system is broken hasn't been to Somalia. Anyone who thinks the economy is broken hasn't been to Haiti. But I guess it is our nature to complain no matter how good we have it, and to ignore what is going on in the rest of the world.
It is true that the U.S. share of the world GDP is declining. That is because international trade helps both countries, but helps the poor countries more. I consider that a good thing. In the U.S. some people say we should by only products Made in America because it creates jobs for Americans. But each American job created costs 10 jobs in China. I would rather create jobs in China because the consequences of unemployment in poorer countries is more severe. I care about all of humanity, regardless of where people were born. -- -- Matt Mahoney, [email protected] ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
