Re: "You posted that as a joke?" Not sure what you mean... I don't actually consider these facts to be all that 'funny': Latest inflation read from the BLS (CPI) reports US inflation running at 4.1% Average annual rate of wage increase --- in China --- is now 10%.

"LOL You posted that as a joke?" Not this part so much :-( "...I would be remiss in my duties as loudmouth alarmist if I did not at least comment on the increase in the national debt, which is up $65 billion in the first 19 days of this month! That's $3.4 billion per day! More than $10 for every man, woman and child in America, per freaking day! So, a family of four (Mogambo, wife, and two hateful, juvenile-delinquent children) is going to have to pay off a government debt that is growing by another $40 a day, every day." "And since only about a quarter of the nation's men, women and children pay taxes, then the additional debt piled onto a tax-paying family of four is $160 per day!"
