Thank you.
I am so sick of hearing how China is going to slowly transform into a quasi-democratic country. Whether they transform into a democratic society or not, it will be at the expense of the US economy.
By the way, China is quite different from Japan of 20 years ago (or Japan today)... China has all the natural resources it needs within its own borders.
We can bomb the living crap out of anyone anywhere, I know, but does anyone here really think we have sustainability?
Could we really go toe to toe with China in another decade or so?

The idea that economics and wealth is a zero-sum game I would think would only be confined to Democratic Undergrond.

Leftists are the ones that believe that if someone or some group becomes wealthy, it must be done at someone elses' expense.
