I recently heard Charles Hess from InferFocus talk about the changes coming from China. The United States is about to be passed up in a big way due to Xi's "China Dream"

What should the US do than? Spend our tax dollars on foreign handouts?

If US companies want to invest in SE Asia there is nothing stopping them.

I don't have an answer for you. But, I'd rather spend tax dollars building railroads in SE Asia than blowing up the Middle East. #Iraq2Trillion #neverforget

Dude, it is not 2 trillion by a long shot.

It is 268k ( https://www.iraqbodycount.org/ )

I believe he's referring to the economic cost being $2 trillion, not the death count.

Did you really think he was talking about the body count?(Have 2 trillion people even ever lived...?) He's clearly talking about the projected cost of that war.

Right now we're using the tools of taxation and legislation to transfer our country's wealth to 'elites' - mainly through taxation for 'defense' spending, patent law legislation, and finance.

Those choices are not obviously the ones that will have the most beneifical long term impact on our country's power.
