We'll soon be the supporting actor to China. It seems like the USA is finished.

To be honest that does not bother me. I don't want the United States and Europe to be the only modern countries in the world. So if that means that China with all its people will have more buying power then the United States in the future then great as that will, also, mean more money towards R&D. Imagine the kind of advancements we can have in health, space exploration, etc., if the whole planet is working towards that goal not just a few countries?

Sure I have been having fun with you, but I think the United States is only one country in the world and that is how I really look at it.

I find this argument one of the strangest, which is saying a lot. China's economy is so dependent upon exports to the U.S. as the bugger the imagination. Most of China's exports aren't even of Chinese design or innovation, so it isn't like China has some possible permanent hold on the U.S. market. Capitol that flowed in to China as a result of lower labor cost can and will just as easily flow out, if and when Chinese demand for higher wages increase.

Revolve away, my son. It will most surely be good for the economy.

New maximum security prisons employ scads of people to watch the jailbirds.

We could use a major growth industry right now.
