Welcome to Gaia! ::

So here is my information on how our Econemy is/ I persive it. The numbers are real though:

You do realize, economy wise, or where the money is going, is in the following order as strongest. Remember we are not talking currency, but economy.

1) America
2) China
3) Germany and Japan

Now America's economy is nearly 10-15 times stronger than second place. Remember ECONOMY NOT currency. The rest of the world is not going to surpass the United States for years to come. Since nearly the whole world uses the United States as the "middle man" so to speak.

Remember the Great Depression? Thanks to Calven Coolege, president during the the time, our economy was growing, much like China is now, extremely fast, so fast, that wages and unemployment were both down, and that the rest of the world, was well left in the dust. Since our economy was so high, we couldn't compete with the rest of the world, and so we basically broke the bank. Now China right now is growing, but thanks to the Euro, will still have time to grow, but as soon as it reaches a point. The will collapse. They aren't using simple economics, Supply and Demand people. look at the Ipods. A perfect example. It was in high demand, so it was in high supply. They supplied it, now how many people do you see going out getting the new video Ipod, compared to when the first Ipod first came out?

China's military is also going to suffer a great loss. Much like the the Russians. The same happened with Russia. There military power, was so great, that when there economy broke the bank, the corruption destroyed its inner workings. Hey, how do you think the Koreans got nuclear weapons? Sorry "alleged nuclear weapons?"

China will be a Nemesis/ our main rival, but for a very short period, not even long enough to last a decade. There would be no chance in hell though that there would be another World War, well not in our life time, or the next generation life time. Reason: Global economy, right now we are to dependant on each other. And for those of you that say America and China will clash, again no, they rely way to much on us. We friggen by everything they make. How many toys do you pick up that don't say "Made in China?"

Simply it boils down to supply and demand, China is going no ware with the way they are abusing this new found brake.

Sorry if it sounds argumentative, but I wrote this in the ED politics subforum, but got lazy to re write it.

Discuss:
Do you believe America will stand far to come (econemy, ew are not taking a popular vote on the pres, please don't bring him up, or the party)

And do you think America military wise still has the respect of power in the world/ will to come?

america is at the head of the global economy

our system is supreme, and the only reason china is even close to us is because their communist/socialist government allows them (them being the government) to get rich at the expense of the working class, where as here, the working class is seperated more and its easier for them to move up

plus we got way more reasources, diversity, and in general just better qualities than any other nation out there


THATS WHY WE ARE NUMBER 1! (sorry my pride showed its self there, but hey nothing wrong with being proud, just arrogant)

if we want to maintain our extreme ability to create stacks on deck, we need to continue the route we have been following all along, we are what we are because of our emphasis on individual rights over that of the communities and the states

Don't forget Poland, it's economy is climbing faster than most european nations considering it's oppression under communism.

the euro was a temprary solution for european countries heading towards the crapper


whats going to end up happening is all those countries are going to become one, cause their borders are realy there and they all think the same pretty much

why do you think that they wont?

even if they do, america will still whip their a** (sorry everyone but we are better)

i mean, my logic is clear, they all live close together, they share the same values and principles, their governments are very similar, they are nearly all in favor of socialism, and they have recently merged their currency and are getting rid of borders

they will become one over time, unfortunatly, we might emrge with mexico or canada (ya know i dont realy care for nafta)

its to much to manage now, thats why their economy is in the crapper, their government is to strong, our nation had the same thing they went through (we had a civil war remember?)

I thought Germany and Japan were above China. Well if it is then its soon about to change the way China's economy has exploded

Though I am kinda worried that they will try to take over the US economically. It would be a great symbol wouldn't though: "the US helped itself become #2 just because theire too lazy to do their own work and had to outsource"?
