| #9 Nimbel, I knew I was gonna get pinged on that. But the fact remains the sleazoid got elected. That's disturbing. And then Bummer gets elected. Think I'm gonna walk the dog tonight just to get away from the TV. |

| #8 Mo, the majority did not vote for Clinton. In each election he won a plurality with a big assist from H. Ross Perot. More than any other person we have him to thank for BJ |

| #7 Actually, Clinton is to blame for making it too easy for China to take advantage of the trade imbalance. Didn't the majority of us vote for Clinton? Even after we all knew how Monica's dress got soiled? That's fat, lazy, immoral and corrupt if you ask me. Might as well add ignorant while you're at it. True, there are still some who are lean and mean and serve with honor. Some of us still put in an honest day's work. But I'm afraid there are too many who are looking for an easy way out, too many couch potatoes, too many welfare moms and deadbeat dads. I don't see it getting any better either. |

| #6 because we have become fat, lazy, immoral and corrupt. Well, some of us have E.bbang, who's in need of a pointer on who they voted for in the last two decades. Actually, Clinton is to blame for making it too easy for China to take advantage of the trade imbalance. Americans are not lazy we work longer and more than most western countries, just because China is a money grubbing kung pow weasel is not Joe's Blow's fault. |

| #5 I don't believe we have to decline just because China is doing well. We are declining because we have become fat, lazy, immoral and corrupt. If the Chinese take advantage of our weakness, who can blame them? Give us another Great Depression and we might smarten up a little bit. Either that or we'll slip into permanent Third World status. |

#3 The United States still has formidable strengths. Its economy will eventually recover. Its military has a global presence and a technological edge that no other country can yet match. But America will never again experience the global dominance it enjoyed in the 17 years between the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991 and the financial crisis of 2008. Those days are over. But the last sentence is correct. |

| #2 The classic indicator of economic ignorance is the phrase "this time it's different". It's the first line of this article. Next. |

| #1 It is more complex then this, China is measured per person a very poor country, it will continue to be so for quite a long time. It is hard to use your economic muscle when so much of your resources is required for basic items. The other problem is like Japan, China has a massive aging population problem. |
