Hang on to your hats, America.

It’s official: America is now No. 2

And throw away that big, fat styrofoam finger while you’re about it.

There’s no easy way to say this, so I’ll just say it: We’re no longer No. 1. Today, we’re No. 2. Yes, it’s official. The Chinese economy just overtook the United States economy to become the largest in the world. For the first time since Ulysses S. Grant was president, America is not the leading economic power on the planet.

It just happened — and almost nobody noticed.

Nah, it has nothing to do with the fact that China has four times our population, is economically out of the dark ages, and manipulates its currency... nope, nothing to do with it.. it's those evil corporations

and if not for Corporate America, where would that high population work
(which by the way is low compared to total population); and how would
they have moved forward economically........artificial currency manipulation is
what makes it attractive market for Corporate America. and could be their
ultimate downfall. Employee loyalty doesn't exist, they move jobs frequently.
Work is mainly in the cities, so overpopulation of those areas is becoming
real issue. The outer areas are where the majority live, and big jobs don't exist out
there. Trouble brewing....not sure how long it will take, but there is going to
be a big problem in the future. The whole economic issue is artificial and
can't be sustained at the current rate.

very true!
the whole economic system will crash. But not until the rich fill their pockets!
and as a side note....you are correct....there is NO employee loyalty anymore....and I can see why.
