Exactly.... Get used to it. While I WISH things were like they were 50 years ago, times have changed and they'll most likely stay changed. The US showed the world how to make an industrialized nation work to our advantage. We flaunted our success. Now that the rest of the world has decided to join in on the fun, we get offended at how they simply did what we did. And we get lazy and complacent.

Not every entry level worker should feel entitled to climb out of his or her Escalade, talking on their Blackberry, wearing their $250 sneakers, and walk into their $400,000 home, to watch their 60" flat screen, while eating enough food to feed 10 people. We might need to get "hungry" again before we can get competitive with countries that ARE hungry. At current rate, and with the current administrations urgency to turn us into socialist lemmings, we might get there sooner rather than later.
