No, all I'm saying is what's considered poverty here, would be considered a significantly luxurious lifestyle in much of the world (Somalia definitely included). That's all.

I thought we were "better" than Somalia....

Are you saying we should keep to the same standards as third world impoverished nations when it comes to fiscal ratings?

BTW, the US does not lend itself easily to the same kind of tribal-living-in-grass-huts lifestyles.

Add insult to injury, when people are not ALLOWED to "live off the land" because someone else owns it... I mean, look what happened to the original Americans..... (BEFORE the casinos, that is)
