What does all of this have to do with your
stated desire to return to the high-tax
economic stagflation boom of the late
seventies?

> A bunch of irrelevance.

The World Fact Book has China's economy growing at 11.4%%.

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2003rank.h...

Moreover the same source shows that China's is already 1/2 the size of
the zero growth U. S. economy

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2001rank.h...

This means China will have a larger economy than the U. S. by Nov.
2014.

ln(2)/ln(1.114) = 6.4 years

According to the same source, the US economy is not zero growth.
Moreover only an idiot would assume that growth rates will remain
the same over time. This is the Paul Ehrlich fallacy. Assume the
current rates of change remain the same. They never do.

If China's labor costs get too high, expect the corpwhores to
move labor-intensive industry to poorer nations.

If you dismiss those who feel like they want to see more social
justice and economic responsibility as a bunch of buffoons like Bret,
you do so at your own risk, and will learn otherwise in November.
