Obviously the outcome of a "thriving economy" is the biggest national deficit ever, a need to constantly borrow from other nations at an unsustainable rate, have increased pressure from a weak dollar and never manage a trade surplus in over 30 years?? Sure, that is one "thriving economy".

BTW.. The answer is China - and several other Asian countries. They have "thriving economies" which supercede all western industrialized countries - not just the US. They will also be the biggest economies we have even seen.
