True as all this is, never fear, the leftist politicians won't allow it to become a reality -- it's a solution to the "energy crisis" but not the answer they want. The only acceptable solutions involve destruction of the capitalist system that they hate to the bottom of their souls - the system that is responsible for the US having become, against all odds, the most affluent society in the history of the world - it must be destroyed, brought down to the level of the most common denominator so that all will be right and "fair" in the world.

I agree that the moronic left wants this. But the least common denominator is rising in most of the world. India and China are becoming economic powerhouses, and as the net and the prosperity that allows travel spreads they will become more free too.

Economically, I think the US will maintain, while the least common denominator will rise to meet us.

Excepting Africa. They don't have the culture to pull themselves up by the boot straps, and will mire around in squalor like New Orleans, until someone decides it's ok to re-colonize again. Perhaps after a couple more centuries of African colonialization it will be able to maintain a first world economy the way South Africa did until the left destroyed apartheid.
