Well this fellow missed the fact that, first the Chinese have to be on par with us; another words we going to be standing still for the next 30-40 Years for the Chinese to catch up with us and be on even level, and than we can talk about rate of growth.
Thank you! But don't tell the doom and gloomers about how far China is behind us....it might interfere with Willie's mission of spreading misery and discontent throughout America.
Personally I thank God everyday for the blessings we have as Americans.
Except for those who have "moved beyond being Americans," who doesn't? Not just leftists swine but also some of our corporations say they are no longer American. "Free traders" here say they look beyond America. Capitalism rules. Then America is in second place?
IMO Willie Green is merely attempting to alert the citizens. "Willie's mission of spreading misery and discontent throughout America" is more like Paul Revere than it is "doom and gloom." ("There goes that damn Revere, wish he wouldn't do that at night. There ain't no British.")
But I am against transferring our technology (and I DON'T mean buggy whips) to developing nations in exchange for "cheap" labor and calling it "free trade."
I am very much for free trade with developed countries that have earned their comparative advantages the old fashion way.
I am very leery of "free trade" when it is praised by progressives of the ilk of Thrid Way New Democrats like the Clintons.
I am not going to google for it but I know that I've read reliable estimates that China's military (esp. space related and missiles) has be accelerated by "free trade" and outright treason.
Willie Green has a lot of good points, IMO.
