What do you suppose the cause of the loss of trade supremacy by the USA is ?

[Sportsdude]

tax cutting the rich during a war

war costs more then the money being made

globalization the country can't function without importing everything.

Imports way more then exports due to 'free trade deals'

economy goes on housing numbers

this all leads to inflation.

Is that a poem?

How did the USSR die? It got into a fight with the US over military. Military spending. Same thing will happen to the states.

  Rome fell because of a bunch of hunter and gather germanic tribes. Mighty Rome fell to somebody very crude. Same will happen to the states. That's how empires fall anyway. Our "paxromana" period was inbetween the end of the cold war and the begining of the 'new war'. We aren't fighting an army, you can't literally beat this 'evil'.  Bush started the country on a death wish.

    I think if you read all that has been written .....I don't think you could conclude that it's not related.
