We ship about 200 billion dollars’ worth of manufactured durable goods per month. Granted, a significant portion of that is defense orders, and as much as I’d like to have a Bradley sitting in my driveway, I’m not allowed to buy one. Nonetheless, that’s still one heck of a “consumer” economy.
The U.S. living standards have fallen during those 30 years yet debt has exploded at all levels, 116 trillion $ in unfunded liabilities, 16 trillion $ federal debt, U.S. cities declaring bankruptcy, many U.S. cities becoming hell holes, personal bankruptcy skyrocketing . How many consumer electronics ( like smart phones, PCS ) made in U.S.A. ? Zero made in U.S.A. most made in China. This U.S. debt is unimaginably high. Anyone who thinks the U.S. wont collapse under this debt is insane and not living in reality. When we actually produced something we paid down the ww2 debt now exploding debt will kill U.S..

China rose at our expense. Surely you free traitors can't say that the U.S. economy is better or bigger than China's. U.S.A is headed for collapse and at best will be a colony of China soon thanks to you free traitors.

These 12 Hellholes Are Examples Of What The Rest Of America Will Look Like Soon
Do you want to see where this country is headed? If so, don't focus on the few areas that are still very prosperous. New York City has Wall Street, Washington D.C. has the federal government and Silicon Valley has Google and Facebook. Those are the exceptions. The reality is that most of the country has been experiencing a slow decline for a very long time and once thriving cities such as Gary, Indiana and Flint, Michigan have become absolute hellholes. They are examples of what the rest of America will look like soon. 60 years ago, most Americans were decent, hard working people and there were always good jobs available for anyone that was willing to roll up his or her sleeves and put in an honest day of work. But now all of that has changed. Over the past decade, tens of thousands of manufacturing facilities have shut down and millions of jobs have left the country. Cities such as Cleveland, Baltimore and Detroit were once shining examples of everything that was right about America, but now they stand out like festering sores.
