We saw what the real Soviet economy was like when the music stopped.
However, the Soviet economy wasn't being fueled by a nearly-infinite supply of foreign investment. Also, there were few in the US government lobbying for increased trade, Most Favored Nation status, and a seat on the WTC with the USSR. Nowadays, our politicians run panting to the Chinese Communists... even Bush.
The Chinese, it seems, will actually be the ones that sell us the rope we use to hang ourselves with.
