If you read Mark Stein's America Alone, you will see his conclusion, which I partly agree with, that no population growth and an ageing work force can have some of the same effects. Nathan,

You may have not noticed the TVA gigantic hydro electric scheme-- certainly one of or the biggest hydro scheme in the world. Just funny that elec from the scheme produced the U238 which produced the first ABombs that conqured Japan and handed it over to US control full stop... You may also realikse that Japan is not just an ally but full colony of the US still and maybe has been bled dry to support the imperial master. Case in point.. why haven't they sold their vast holding of USDebt to fund public works or offset taxes? Why indeed? You would be amazed that the world works as its intended to -- small man suffer......
