Yeah, but thanks to treaties some of that stuff the Yank government have done has the potential to affect us.
As for coming out of the GFC without too much affecting us umm...heh, I think there's some things that aren't adding up there, like what has happened to the long term unemployed that dropped off that counter and didn't make a difference to the employed count. Y'know the tricky statistic stuff. 'Cos I've been noticing more (and evidence for) homeless people lately (in the previous year). I've even been regularly spotting the stereotypical 'bag guy with shopping trolley' in South Yarra.
