Q Governor Lamm, you paint a bleak portrait of America's future. A People have this almost fatalistic belief that God is an American and every generation has an inalienable right to be richer than its parents. That's not the way I read history.
All major civilizations commit suicide.
They start when they don't come to grips with their problems. Our problems are outrunning our solutions. The trends are ominous. A This country borrows 20 cents out of every dollar it spends. We have a trade deficit of unbelievable proportions and the lowest productivity growth of any industrialized nation.
