In the last analysis, the one that controls raw
materials controls. Russia and China are definitely in that category, if
they don't screw things up too bad.

You can't solve problems by exporting them. Part of
Japans problem isChina and part of Taiwan's problem will soon be mainland
China. Take a goodlook around you. We no longer manufacture
shoes, cloths, electronics manyauto parts. Look at the labels of
what you buy and note where the foodcomes from that you eat. Fruit ,
vegetables, fish, beef, lamb and soyproducts are all being imported
because it is cheaper then we can produce ithere. Take the semi
conductor chip or ram. Taiwan can produce them forabout 2/3 of the
cost in the US and China can produce them at 2/3 the costof
Taiwan. Made in the U.S.A. now means made elsewhere and assembled
here.How many parts of your computer were manufactured in the US or your
TV,refrigerator, car, or any other item that you buy. They are
even talkingabout having our war planes, tanks and other military
equipment manufacturedoverseas. The balance of payments should tell
you something. Then look atthe work force in the high tech
industry. How many of them are from China,Japan, India, Israel and
other countries. So now we have two areas ofconcern in the
immigration area. High tech and field workers, but withoutthem where
would we be? We do have a thriving wine industry though
whichis rapidly being encroached upon. So when you talk about
lessons, maybe weshould look around and take a few lessons from some other
countries. Ourreal estate bubble isn't as great as Japans was, but
our stock market bubblewas and the cure isn't over yet. So
while you ponder these things, sitback with a good bottle of wine,
California of course, and relax. Ira.----- Original
