"The International Monetary Fund recently released the latest numbers for the world economy. And when you measure national economic output in “real” terms of goods and services, China will this year produce $17.6 trillion — compared with $17.4 trillion for the U.S.A."

That's in U.S. Dollars, and China is still a communist nation.

That's in U.S. Dollars, and China is still a communist nation.

Can you imagine what an economic beast China would be if it let the whole country run full capitalist, like Hong Kong and Taiwan?

We've got no one to blame, as we've let the elites of both parties lay waste to the hard-won economic strength of the U.S. through unfair trade, choking bureaucracy and irresponsible fiscal policies.

It takes considerable effort to sink a capitalist nation, but it can be done - from within.
