But pissing away more money than the next 20 nations combined, is.  If we continue to let this country deteriorate it will be the same as buying a $1 million-dollar insurance policy on a car which is up on blocks.

That's a good argument if it's valid. Is it really?

America has always maintained military supremacy by superior manufacturing capability. We no longer have that. We have sacrificed manufacturing supremacy for economic supremacy but that is an illusion. We cannot maintain economic supremacy as long as we are inferior manufacturers.

Do you really think China will be a beneficent world leader, focused on the good of humanity?
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
