DUmmies think making the U.S. better means bringing us down to the level of the worlds socialist countries.
Question.
How many times has America been headed towards the sundown?
Like, about four times the past fifty years.
That sundown just keeps on getting further and further away.
Historians generally consider 1968--yes, 1968--as the peak of American power and influence, after which we ostensibly began eroding away.
In 1968, the United States was 30.4% of all the world produced (income), and 1968 was when Japan and Germany slowly began emerging as great economic powers.
In 2002, the United States was 30.7% of the all world produced (income), and this was long after Japan and Germany had grown.....and in the meantime other economic powers (India, China, the oil-producing nations) came into being.
The "competition" gets tougher, what with all these new economic powers.....but some how, in some way, the United States just keeps gaining ground.
