for the world anymore. Used to be the USA didn't compete with europe (as it was rebuilding after the war), with the soviet bloc (they couldn't build anything), with Asia (china, India, Korea, Japan have since becomes the greatest of economies), but they sold stuff made in the USA all over the world. That is why growth is down. The rich already have tax cuts and they have not created any jobs. They have QE3 and have not built factories. This is just bull****.
