As will we because we are essentially a cradle-to-grave, highly taxed nanny state. Dean is running on a platform of repealing all Bush's tax cuts. Clinton was yabbering on about how he doesn't need the money. To your average illegal Mexican or section 8 mommy this sounds SO right. YEAH! Raise taxes on 'those people'. The protected classes continue to grow at a rate far beyond those who are supposed to 'grin an bear it'.

California is a crystal ball, and even the Termanator can't change basic math.

The big thing we have going for us is that this country is so big, we have a large margin of error. We can make stupid taxation and immigration decisions for a couple of decades and still recover. Sure, our immigration policies are foolish, but if we decide to stop immigration and adopt a heavily assimilationist policy towards immigrants that are already here, we can fix the problem in less than a decade.

A small country like Sweden can't make too many immigration or social mistakes or it will find itself quickly overrun.
