"the US won't be the richest and most powerful country for ever" China has already begun to close in on us. The fact that they hold a lot of our debt gives them power over us. A super power that has to obey another power is not so super.

The US has a lot more going for it than this guy allows for. Four ocean coastline (Atlantic, Pacific, Caribbean, Arctic. Rich natural resources. Amiable climate. Rich agricultural resources. Intelligent and educated populace. The list goes on and on. Freedom. No other nation can match the combination that we enjoy. We're the best because we're the best. There ain't no Miss America contest here. Anybody don't like that, here's a quarter. Call somebody who cares.
