I must have been led astray by your reply to Cecil ---
>A government which spends what it hasn't got to spend will cause hyper-inflation to come upon its people in due time. The Weimar Republic of Germany in the 1930's and Argentina in the 1980's are two examples, and maybe a third would be Zimbabwe. We ARE headed toward hyper-inflation which will rob money value from all, but will hurt the poor and middle class more than anyone else.

No wonder you snipped that out! Now you are probably going to say there is no difference between hyper-inflation and "a severe crisis with devastating consequences." I don't agree with that, either, but don't bother. I am going to take a break from discussing economics with the Tea Party types here. It's pretty pointless.
Add immigration to that list. Your pot-stirring pal in North Carolina, the one with all the insulting and patronizing comments, spurred that decision.
See you in SQL Server threads, I guess ;-)
