"The redeeming feature of war is that it puts a nation to the test. As exposure to the atmosphere reduces all mummies to instant dissolution, so war passes supreme judgement upon social systems that have outlived their vitality."
I read that paper from Sherk. Why do American companies have to pass on increased labour costs to consumers? Are they all mismanaged or something? Jeez no wonder you're on your knees economically, you've got idiots running your corporations.

Not at all, our economy is based largely on agricultural exports and resources, we are booming over here. Know anyone who wants a job? Its manufacturing where you will get the competition from the Chinese and their cheap labour. Which is why your economy is doing so badly and ours is doing so well.

I am speaking about the comparison to China, that was what we were speaking about. Look at 20210 GDP for instance....
Not that big a difference between you and the U.S., we are having a bit of a set back. All countries go through it. Look at China however,,,Yeah she is kicking your butt too....

And as far as the GDP goes...well..We are going through a minor set back. We will bounce back stronger than ever. The housing Market in Australia is starting to take it's lumps as well. Jobs are one thing, affording a home another...
China is about a third our size, what is she to you?
The U.S is still among the ten Richest countries in the world, for it's size that's remarkable. There are more Billionaires living in the U.S. than there is in the entire world...

Infraction??, but he insulted me FIRST!!
So report him.He reported you, we usually check reports first. Next time report him
Oh, I will thanx...
lol. double Lol, let me do a ROFL as well. Australia has a population of 22 million. GDP does not directly relate to wealth. Our unemployment is 5 percent, yours is about 20 percent. We cant fill jobs over here, we are forced to import labour. I can sell my house and buy 10 similar ones in the US. Tell me again how China is killing us.

Not to worry. Obama is going to put the coal mines out of business.
