1) We're on the brink of "naturalizing" millions of third-worlders.
2) Wages ARE stagnant while the price of milk is above $4.00 per gallon.
3) The fact that China just surpassed us should strongly indicate that we're declining. There's no, good reason to allow ourselves to be overtaken by ANYONE.
At one point ... China wasn't even close to our economic power. Now they're our masters. You do the math!!!
1) No we aren't. Look up what naturalization means, there are no proposals to grant citizenship to millions of third world workers.
2) Wages have been stagnant, and ARE starting to rise. Inflation is quite low, pointing to a single commodity isn't a reasonable way of attempting to prove a point on wages vs. prices. Someone else could point to gasoline to make the opposite point, you'd both be doing it wrong.
3. Nope because it isn't a zero sum gain, a rise in China doesn't indicate we're declining. Other countries improving their economies and quality of life is a good thing.
China isn't our masters, you're pegging the hyperbole meter at this point.
I did not say that DrifitingSand said that.
