Immigrants save Canada for now from America's fate.

Ursula, bingo, you "hit the nail on the head."

Too many Americans have a lousy work ethic, or none at all.

As you observe, often they do not bother to show up to work.

Why should we blame business then for outsourcing production to countries with strong work ethics?

Some of the economic damage in this country has been by this country to itself because it has become lazy, undisciplined, entitlement-minded on too many levels.

The coming economic crash is going to provide a huge reality check for lots of Americans. They are not worth what they think they are.
