Ok, then let's talk about the Japanese economy. I'm not going to take sides on this one, but Japan's economy is not as great as you might be lead to believe. By 2025, more than 27% of its population will be over 65. Yes, the GNP is second highest to the USA, but that doesn't mean they are much better off.
who said anything about the Japanese being better off? i just mentioned the enormous trade offset we have with them.
