All of this has been done by giving away its manufacturing base to the Third World. It will have gone from #1 to #3 in 100 years, without a shot fired.

The US has far too many people and needs to reduce the population. An economy is based on $$$$ in people's pockets, not on the number of people. Already we are seeing the effects of automation taking jobs away from humans this will increase over the next 20 to 30 years. Machines make people redundant and don't pay taxes. Therefore increasing your debt.

What did the US do to deserve 9/11? It was the culmination of Al Queda attacks on the US. They had already attacked American embassies and military, 9/11 was Al Queda pushing America into war. If America had not gone to war, what was the next atrocity planned? How could they top that?

NK hasn't just suddenly developed Nuclear and Ballistic capabilities. It's been building to this during the previous 4 Presidents, who did nothing but build China up economically. Should Drumpf ignore them until they decide to use those missiles? Or sell the technology to someone who will?

Do you want me to go on or is that enough politics for now?

China is the largest population in the world with 1.4 BILLION people. The United states has 323 million people. It's only logical that China becomes the world's largest economy; It's the largest population.

And why in the world do you say the United States has "too many people".

After 9/11 maybe some 2 million have died in the Middle East.
Many economies in the Middle Eastern lay in ruin and they are still burying their dead.

There are no winners just bigger losers :2 cents:

The United States has traditionally had the word's largest economy because it's been a large, stable country, and technological powerhouse for over two hundred years. It's only a matter of time before China has the biggest economy.

Paul just doesn't get it. He thinks it's all about jobs. The United States is at 4.3% unemployment.... We don't need jobs.

Rochard just doesn't get it. He thinks its all about people. :1orglaugh
