RE: Weiss...You should read "boom bust and echo 2000"
demographically we are actuallly in a sweet spot...it will be another 15 years before the boomer start retiring en masse
oil stops being a problem the minute we stop appeasing the arabs. A 5% increase in car fuel efficiency would knock oil prices back to under $12.....which is really why Exon et al hate Kyoto

Canada has lots of what everyone else needs...it will do fine
but the USA are in for some very rough sledding indeed.
