This is just a continuation of what has been happening since we paid to reconstruct Germany, Japan, et al.

They are beating us at our own game and we are out of moves. I like to ponder the evolution of this new world. The shifting of relative wealth and spending power. The loss of income to the government offset by an increase in government spending to support those no longer on the tax roles.

We will be in a position not many years hence where we will be ripe for plucking by an extreme nationalist leader, i.e., a dictator of some dress or another.

I hope I'm granted another 30 years on this Earth to see it play out.
