I for one welcome our new Chinese overlords

 

[Saabstory]

Yeah; but in more important news... My economy is no longer the world's smallest.

China has like 3x our population, they should be making more shit than us. I don't think it's any reason for alarm.

projections show china slowing down considerably (think a 10-year forecast) and the US steadily picking up steam. Not sure this will be the case for very long.

Actually I think Brazil will be coming up the rear sooner than India. They've got natural resources, great industry and their infrastructure is pretty good. Once they really make headway on their corruption problems it'll be pretty easy for them to become a superpower. I'm no economist, BTW. I just keep an eye out.

Easier said than done.

And what does it mean to be the world's largest economy? Sounds like a dick measuring contest to me.
