We do NOT have the highest saving rate. >> Whoa, you are away off base here. Americans have the 8th highest per capita GNP. I don't have current figures, but in 1988, The US trailed Switzerland, Iceland, Japan, Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Denmark, in GNP per capita. If I am not mistaked the US has fallen behind even more since then. -- Louis Schmittroth louis@cs.athabascau.ca NW 1/4 18 67 21 W4 Alberta.
