This will change as the East wealth increases and the wealth in the west falls, with collapsing dollar, falling home and stock prices the aging overly indebted Americans at least will have no other option as the cost of fuel soars and their companies are sold off and taken over by their Asian and OPEC masters.

This will probably change, but not because the West gets poorer. It will change as a result of the East getting wealthier. World Auto Production is 75 Million, with only 15 million being sold in the U.S.

Oil is a BIG problem in the "Short Run," but new engine, and bio-fuel/hybrid technologies, plus carbon/nano technologies will solve the shortfall. In the meantime, soaring productivity, worldwide, will bring hundreds of millions more out of poverty.

Don't forget, our prosperity surged with the advent of 4-wheel, mechanized transport.

anonymous and all the dollar collapsing worriers out there, let me ask you this.

If the collapsing dollar is so bad for the US, then the rising euro and pound must be doing wonders for Europe and UK. Yet, its NOT! Europe's growth continues to lag America. Europe's unemployment is higher. And funniest thing of all, people like France's president Sarkozy are blaming the high euro for their stagnant growth.

Oh and for the 1 billionth time, the world's economy is NOT A ZERO-SUM GAME!
