Your three statements, taken together, are very contradictory.

If we export food (#2), then #1 is false ("we produce nothing")

#3 posits that we are the largest economy. That cannot happen just by exporting food, and it definitely cannot happen if we produce nothing.

Let's try to ratchet down the rhetoric a notch and think before we post.

Largest economy fueled by debt.

How about looking at reality. We are $19 Trillions debt. Do you think we as a nation would have run up debt like that if we hadn’t passed NAFTA and artificially created China’s economic miracle?

We produce nothing in the sense of manufacturing items.

We are indeed still the largest economy, because of our past which we are still living off of, but we are now consumers and debtors.

Maybe you should think a little more before you post.
