Also there is one other point. In the U.S, anyway the increase in the
ratio of seniors to others is projected to occur alongside a drop in the
ratio of children to population -- so that the total "dependency" ratio
is projected to be a only a tiny bit higher than at present...

the dependency ratio doesn't automatically rise with the age of the

Bonds on Track to Beat Stocks: Rates of Return (Update1)
By Heather Bandur
New York, Aug. 31 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. Treasuries are on track to beat the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index for a second year. That hasn't happened since
1981 and 1982, when the economy was in recession.

G'day all,
Here's what passes for bullishness these days. I notice the world doesn't
feature in Mr McTeer's calculations (eg humungous Japanese bad debt
projections), nor does he feel the outrageous credit creation of the last few
years is of concern, nor has he noted the recent plateau in consu

delivery systems. With their current technology, they probably could
hit only part of the US. If Prince George's Star Wars plan proves
feasible, then it will have the ability to knock out maybe 20 missles
