"Yet the U.S. was still in the Depression when we entered WWII"

Whats do you suppose that means?

China is a communist country, coming out of the dark ages. While the government is comunist, the market is capitalistic. These two things can't exist together, and one will win out. Which one?

We would have, except for the clintons trading off our nukes...

One of the difficulties of China invading the US is the transportation of troops. Our Navy is more advanced then theirs. However, this is all null and bad if a nucular war begins.

We didn't have to fight the Soviets, we can win without warring against the worlds largest country.

Our economy is at its best in years. While china had a 9.2% growth rate, at what price? The price is cheap labor, prison workers, and most of the country in abject poverty! This is not the ideal situation for growth.

Good point. However, the nation is moving back twoard the right, and will elect right wing politicians. America can still recover, even if we have another Carter. After all, Carter's policys essentially lost his second term to Regan, despite the majority of the nation being liberal.
