Why is the U.S. Drowning in its own Blood while China Prospers? Because rising numbers of people in this country want it that way. Otherwise they wouldn't elect those who facilitate this act of national suicide. Everything we need to know about America's future will be told by how the November elections go.

One thing I admire about the Chinese (all their other faults notwithstanding): Every move they make is based on ONE question: “What’s in it for China?”

China is still a command economy mainly controlled by the Government. Maos efforts have merely been turned in a different direction to make the country (not necessarily the people) rich. No business gets done without input or approval by a raft of bureaucrats. Politics controls everything. Most businessmen, in fact, ARE the bureaucrats. Therefore, corruption is rampant. This is why after only 20-25 years of “reform” China already has one of the most unequal wealth distribution in the world.
We should admire the individual Chinese’s thrift, focus on family and value of education, but they have developed these over the centuries as a survival mechanism against rapacious Government. There is very little in Chinese economic planning that the USA should copy.

I agree with you we are losing exhibiting virtually no resistance. I think we will be the only civilization in history conquered by words alone.

China has a world of problems including a massive,restless peasant population, a rapidly growing demographic of elderly, and a state controlled economy that could pop anytime.
To: ScottinVA
I have to agree with you. When politicians discovered that the American people will elect the politician that promises to give them the most goods and services for free, they started giving the people what they wanted, namely, something for nothing. Today, the American electorate has decided to pass the bill on to future generations. The past and current generations still want something for nothing, and they do not care enough about what happens to American AFTER they die to change. Nothing is going to substantially change until America becomes another Greece, and the bills come due.

Ping for later.
This guy says we should copy the Chinese? Well, perhaps in actions of Self Interest.
I need to read it more and digest it. If he is one of these morons who says we need to run our government like the Chicoms in a bunch of other ways (as I have heard more than one statist liberal opine) then I’m gonna load my Internet Shotgun, both barrels.

And a real estate bubble that puts the one we had here to shame. The China “economic story” is a sham.
To: ScottinVA
Idiots brainwashed by TV. The five networks support Obama 100%. I have been blasted here by some people but TV empowers the elites, libs and Obama. Cancel it. People won’t do it because they will trade their liberty for ball games.

The US has been systematically deindustrialized and turned into the trophy wife of the world. Doing nothing but buying a bunch of stuff on a credit card.
To: NetRight Nation
Is there any economic return on this money? None that is readily apparent.Progressives love altruism and empathy.For them, it is an end in itself.Self-sacrifice is the primary moral virtue. And it is destroying America.

Firstly, because all of the reasons everyone here will readily provide: our government’s slouch towards socialism, greedy unions, and so on. But more importantly, because China has a lot of room to prosper. Most of her population is out of Europe’s High Middle Ages at best. Also, and relatedly, they can prosper on the back of quasi-slave labor, because they are communists, and because as I said above the people are stuck way backl in time and welcome any advancement with the sort of relish that Americans welcome their third trip to McDonalds in one day.

Nothing is going to substantially change until America becomes another Greece, and the bills come due. At which point, the reflexive blaming of Bush will commence.

I would suggest you look a little deeper. It's not like politicians were surprised; they KNEW. However, the entire game was predicated on inflating the number of unqualified voters. Hence, the various voting enfranchisement acts dating back to the Civil war and continuing apace to this very day.
Policitians and the power elite who back them generally possess above avg intelligence. It's not mystery to them that democracies have repeatedly failed throughout history. So the challenge was to convert the republic into a democracy. Once that was achieved, anything is literally possible, as we witness on a daily basis.
The only way out is a reset. It's coming sooner or later (what, you thought the USA would live forever?); when it does, a couple of hundred years of tradition are going to go medieval on usurpers.

The Europeans are in as bad a shape as we are. What will they use to buy the exports?

Well, China is climbing out of Communism, and the US is swan diving into it.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
