Most third world economys don't have the capacity to absorb productive, motivated workers and allow them to thrive. The US does.The adjustment period would be hard, and I'd fully support transitional programs (soup kitchens, homeless shelters, etc.) to keep anyone from going hungry or dying from exposure.I'd just like to see "social insurance" redefined. Our current safety net is way, way too comfortable, IMO. As proof of that, look at the number of fully capable people who choose to live "on the dole" year after year, generation after generation. If they lived a life without luxury then maybe they'd work harder to improve their own situation.</blockquote>
