  1. President Obama did not cause this to happen!
    You can ask any news reporter. They will tell you he inherited this!

  2. The symptoms of democratic leftist genocide? Obama knows big trouble’s a
    comin’ so he’ll end himself first before it finds him. 

  3. what i dont get? USA livingstandards versus CHINA? USA has hell of alot
    more more and even more DEBT both public and private… that is why there
    is still party going on… in China they invest and also save more then
    35 % of income, in EU and USA that is only 2 % and myself belief that is
    even lower. How can you call a country rich if they have huge debts?? 

  4. Money for Infrastructure, or money for war. Every country have to choose it
    with consideration benefit and risk for the future. 

  5. Purchasing power parity is only used to calculate standard of living for a
    country. It is only meaningful on a per capita basis. When we calculate GDP
    for a whole country we should use exchange rate. Right now using exchange
    rate, china is only slightly bigger than half of US. 9T vs 16T

  6. China’s economy is set to overtake the US this year.

  7. Chinas market is going to collapse much harder than ours will. They’re
    going to face a major housing bubble burst here soon. They have cities with
    no one living in them.

  8. For sure, major portion of Chinese ppl are still not in the category of
    rich. However, it just takes 30 years to take majority ppl out from serious
    poverty to today’s position, which in total is overtaking U.S. It is not
    hard to see, in next few decades, after middle classes become major portion
    of population in china…..

  9. What does it matter most of China is still poor. If China is a success
    being 99th in per capita wealth what is the U.S.being in the top 10?
    Its a cool stat to see but in reality China has a looong way to go to make
    the whole country as productive as the U.S.

  10. The haircut service can be much cheaper in China than in NY, but in terms
    of the average wage people get,this doesn’t make sense. In fact, higher
    quality services in China are ridiculously expensive nowadays and you will
    know that if you stepp into any fancy shopping mall in China.

  11. china did what the USA did and gave out bad housing loan but on a massive
    scale so now they are gonna have a shitty recession real soon. when you
    have a 1.3 billion people economy.
