All this from someone who just recently proclaimed that Warren Buffett was "bragging" about paying less taxes than his secretary. What, did you just wake up and say 'oh well, I think I'm in the mood for something factual today,' or what? Good show, in any event. Indeed, international trade has existed at least as long as ships have sailed, and even before that, being as that many tribes of the day considered other tribes to be 'foreigners,' and so exchanging pottery for necklaces or knives constituted international trade. Oh, BTW, got any sources on how the US gets oil $20/bbl cheaper from Canada? Never mind. The US would crumple to the ground with out you, tomorrow. Indeed, why all this worry about China or terrorists. But anyway, scarcity of engineers is a problem in every 'developed' country; to be more precise, engineers outside of the oil industry. When they are offered almost twice the pay out of school to figure out how to trash the environment drilling in the Gulf of Mexico or Prudhoe Bay or demolishing large portions of Canada in pursuit of the extraction of oil from the tar sands, it would be accurate to presume that there is a shortage of engineers for other purposes.
