Subject: RE: BS: Poverty in the USA
Hi meself,

Economics is not my strong suit, but I guess my response to that is, at what real cost? At what wages and working conditions? In the USA, the consumerism that has become the norm is made possible by cheap, foreign labor who work at wages and in conditions that are comparable to slave labor, while causing a substantial loss of jobs in one industry after another in the USA.
