These are just problems. Just like how the US has some really big glaring problems: 1. Incapable of building infrastructure, can't build the CA hsr while China built an entire network across the country. 2. Can't raise the population out of poverty. You see homeless people and drug addicts everywhere. 3. Unemployment going up, Inflation is going up. 4. Wealth ienquality is rising. The Housing is becoming more and more unaffordable for most Americans. I mean this is "delivering" too. As if 4 random economic problems a country is facing is indicative of total collapse.

Problems are not a like-for-like exchange. It's a completely meaningless statement you're making. Having cancer and having a cold are both illnesses. The severity of the two are not alike. The US' unemployment fell to 3.7 percent end of December. [1] Inflation fell to 3.4 percent. Please do your research before commenting.

  Please don't lie and mis characterize the situation before commenting. Thank you. Inflation going down and unemployment going down doesn't characterize the overall situation for the last year. What your saying a month of the opposite trend indicates the US economy has no more problems? That china can't possibly ever have a month of upward ticks? My statement is meaningless. That's the point of my statement. It's an example to show how meaningless the statement about China is. I'm sick and tired of people who get emotional and are patriotic. Why can't people be level headed and just talk about facts rather then "defend" their stance or their own country.

    > I'm sick and tired of people who get emotional and are patriotic. Why can't people be level headed and just talk about facts rather then "defend" their stance or their own country. I specifically called out false claims you made out as fact. Your claims were not factual and I did not misconstrue them. The US is at one of the lowest unemployment rates over its entire history. It is at the lowest level over the last 54 years. [1] That's fact. Your claim was false. Inflation in America is not under any long- or short-term trend of increasing. That is a false claim you have made and continue to shelter behind. Inflation increased because of a global calamity the entire world suffered under. That was an acute crisis, not a trend. China has an unemployment rate among its youth well over 20 percent. That is not a blip. That is institutional failure caused by decades of mismanaging a population under an authoritarian government.
