Searching the Net I have found nothing to indicate that the US population growth has slowed to 0. Overall growth has slowed, but the population is still growing by quite a bit. A major surge occurred in the 1990's. Anyone curious can check census bureau facts.
Also, in almost all areas US imports exceed US exports. A simple google search will turn this stuff up. Later, Marnie aka Doe -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
