How did Germany get out of the depths of defeat after World War I?
By the FREE MARKET?
What a bunch of laissez faire FREE MARKET propaganda!
Export-driven economic nationalism
The US has transformed itself from the world's greatest creditor nation into the world's greatest debtor nation thanks to the "FREE MARKET".
To: Comrade Brother Abu Bubba
The “free market” forced people to borrow way beyond their means?
The “free market” forced the government to borrow endlessly to build the illusion of productivity?
It is government at the root of easy money that enticed people to borrow instead of save. In addition government has destroyed savings in this country by trashing the value of dollar and taxing it to death.

The PRC doesn’t require the overhead the USA has support so its cheap to manufacture over there

That’s an emotional response not addressing anything I actually said.

Couldn't be more true. Obama has sold America out to the world and now we're feeling the repercussions. China has become prosperous by becoming more capitalist while America has tanked by becoming more communist.
Sadly, not every China supporter likes China's new transition to the free market:

Thanks Comrade Brother Abu Bubba.
China has been running history's largest trade surpluses with the United States and has amassed a hoard of $2.3 trillion in foreign currency.

I found this on the commie's other youtube. Is this valid?
US prepares for war with China
Of course by the way N0bamas handling America China would kick us.
To: citizenredstater9271
What do you mean by valid? It’s some kooky person wearing a uniform with a PRC flag behind him.

I meant the notion the weirdo makes concerning America-China relations and whether or not there’s a chance America and China could be at war shortly. I think he’s full of it but then again he’s a commie.
To: citizenredstater9271
No telling. China and the US both benefit from each other as well as compete with each other. Seems to me like the biggest thing to be worried about is how successful China will be bullying the rest of the Pacific countries, including us. But it's kind of silly to think that a growing nation of a billion+ people shouldn't be the world's biggest manufacturer and an economic power in itself. And one could hope that prosperity doesn't have to be a zero-sum game either.

China is overrated. They have some very long term cultural habits (and absence of some culturally valuable habits) that is already hobbling them, and that hobbling will continue. On such weakness is that Chinese culture does NOT recover well or easily from upset.
US culture’s great strength is our ability to get up quickly after a serious fall.

“Globalism” is of higher importance than Americans well being- it’s as simple as that.
Ivy-leaguers are taught this (crap) are the elite foists this upon all of us.

Last year, China surpassed Germany as the greatest exporting nation. This year, China surpasses Japan as the world's second-largest economy. This year, China became the first auto manufacturer on earth.
Within 15 years China's demographics will begin to collapse. All is not well in the eastern dragon. Funny. There is more economic freedom in China than the US. Maybe Pat should go back to hating Jews. That seems to be more within his comfort zone.

Oh, please; like we’re going to take the word of a Communist country (however nominally) about its economic activity?
LIES!
All LIES!!!
It was this sort of defeatism that led to the the sucking-up of “detente” in the ‘70s, the ‘realpolitik’ that ‘proved’ that Reagan was a crazy fool. Well, guess what? Reagan was right: evil is unsustainable, and will crumble when opposed.
Buchanan has only one good observation, and that is, “Demographics are destiny.” Using that to view China gives us the clue that they must launch a war within 15 years, to solve the ‘Little Emperor’ problem of too many young men. Rampant homosexuality is another answer, but not one likely to appeal to the government. The relative positions of China and the U.S. today are remarkably similar to those of Japan and the U.S. in 1941.
Don’t worry that China will outpace us; worry that the new Red Dawn movie is too accurate.

Funny how engineers have a different view of the world.
And I agree.
Japan was going to own us in the 80’s... Funny how that worked out...
China is in for some major upheaval. In addition the Chinese people aren't going to be willing to continue being the worlds slaves and continue to live in a seriously polluted toilet. With their new wealth they are going to demand a better standard of living and a safer environment all of which will increase the cost of Chinese production. As that happens all their other culture issues will come into play making them far less competitive than they are now.
