i just wanted to point a few things out, the USA may have the worlds highest GDP, but it doesnt have the worlds largest per capita GDP. also the USA owes aprox 60% of its GDP as debt, whereas other countries such as the UK only owe aprox 40%.
also to the person who talked about the states cutting of trade with china, you obviously have no idea about politics or economics, politically and economically speaking the states wouldnt stop trade with china unless they had a very good reason to do so. for starters the rest of the world wouldnt be too pleased about this and im sure both the UN, and the E.U would have something to say about this.

Know dont get me wrong the United States is a very rich very powerful country but i would also like to point out the fact that most of their wealth and power came from exploiting poorere countries.

Anyways why do you allways have to say that your country is the best, who cares, im british, britain isnt the richest or most powerful country, but im fine with that i live a good life, my friends family and the british people as a whole live a good life so as far as im concerned its all good.

and anyways even if amerca was the richest most powerful country it still doesnt make you the best, take italy for examply they dont have the power or the money that the americans have, but you know what else they dont have, they dont have the greed, the political backstabbing, the high crime rates, the general ignorance, and the levels of discrimination and segregation that is seen in america. I just dont see why you allways wanna say that you country is the best, i mean personally id rather see my country become poorer and a little worse off, if it meant all the poorer countries became a little better off.
