With the recent U.S. Depression, will the Japanese past the U.S. GDP?

[CDN87]

Will the U.S. slowdown in terms of the economy give apan the strongest economy in this world? Will they past the US in terms of GDP nominal?

The United States is not in a depression. Its not even in a recession. (At least not yet.)

It is structurally impossible for Japan to ever overtake the US economy.

On a basic, simply level, the Japanese population will soon start shrinking. Not enough effort from the "birth-giving machines" apparently.

I like Lou Dobbs. His show discussed the US trade imbalance predicament lately. The show stated that conventional wisdom has it that once a country's trade deficit hits 5% of GDP the country is assumed to be in decline. The US trade imbalance is now 6.5% of GDP. Much of this is due to an aggressive trade policy on the part of China. Looks like the US is on the ropes.

Agressive trade policy, I wonder where they got that idea?
Japan will begin buying oil from Eyeran in Euros or Yen and rearm to the teeth.
Louu Dobbs will be arrested for animal abuse.
Properly regulated capitalism by communists can eat the planet.haha

Misinformation du jour me thinks.

If I had a dollar for every reason the US was on the ropes, I'd be a millionaire several times over.

Price of oil increasing
Wars
Housing prices
Terrorism
Stock market scandals
Debt
Blah blah blah

The US economy is an 800 pound gorilla and the rest of the worlds economies are spider monkeys in comparison.

I'm not saying that the US economy will be number one forever, but they will likely remain number one for at least 30 years. That how long it will take China to surpass them. If they can maintain this type of hyper growth for that long.

The recent stock market crash in China was rumoured to be self inflicted as Chinas government is worried that China's economy is growing too fast to be sustainable.

A declining birthrate is actually a wealth generator.

The bigger your 800 pound hydro-carbon junkie gorilla is the harder it falls. 30 years is a long time to fight terrorists on borrowed or stolen money.haha

The U.S. was in a desperate situation regarding depression in the 1930s and they managed to scramble a few ships and planes together to help out in WWII - late of course (how can we forget ahem) - but still they got there...

Lou Dobbs is quoting his acceptable role from "on high".... CNN and CBS are determined to capture the hysterical audience and whip them into chaos to change the election in 2008 - they have a couple of years to do their work of the party and that work is to unset the current administration....

A shame when the media get tangled up in politics instead of reporting fact.

Even more of a shame when people fall for it.

Not one person on this earth can predict what the market will be like in the next two years..
