Is it time to thank the Republicans, with China fast becoming No.1, and America declining fast? Remember when-

Question

America was No. 1, about 8 years ago?

Answer 1

Standard of living? US.

Higher education? US. Even that international ranking system done by an organization IN CHINA concluded that the US and the UK dominate the post-high school system worldwide, with the US clearly being the top dog. That's not even up for debate, to be honest.

Military- quite obviously the US. I was just recently reading several reports about the Chinese Navy vs. the US Navy from international news reports that were basically making fun of Americans for even thinking that China was in any position to catch up.

And everyone knows their economy is even more dependent on ours than we are on theirs.

So, frankly, I don't know what you're talking about.

And human rights? Holy mother of holies. What they're doing in Africa makes Guantanamo look like a baptist kindergarten.

Answer 2

Well, the U.S. is still undoubtedly the #1 military power in the world. But if we are losing any power, I'm sure much of that can be attributed to the Bush administration.

Answer 3

China becoming No.1 ? As long as all oil is traded in Dollars no country but America will be No.1. 130 dollar oil and 75% traded outside america with 38 million barrels extracted daily means that america gets a whooping 37 billion in foreign currency for their dollars.

Answer 4

..... what?  America is the #1 Military power in the world by far.  Move to China and take a look around.  If you like it better there, stay.  If you decide you don't like horrible pollution and rampant human rights violations, come back here and shut the h**l up.

Answer 5

China's economy is tiny compared to the US's.  We're still number one.

Answer 6

"But the truth be told, if you want to find the guilty, you need to only look into a mirror." - V

We all know that Bush stole the election and is an usurper and not a president yet we did nothing.

We all know that 9/11 was just an excuse to initiate war and that the real criminals are not being prosecuted. Yet we did nothing.

We all know that Iraq war had nothing to do with 9/11 and it was just an excuse to steal the oil of that country. Yet we did nothing.

War costs, A LOT. If only half the money where spend in health and education the USA would have been the most educated and with better health country in the world. Yet we where afraid and bought into all the BS that the government have told us.

We are guilty of being contempt and not being vigilant.

"The price of liberty is the eternal vigilance" - Thomas Jefferson.

It was our duty, and we failed.

"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty." - Thomas Jefferson
