US economy

Reader comment on item: Terrorism Troubles [i.e. George Galloway enthuses for Barack Obama]
in response to reader comment: Can the Symbiosis Last?

If our economy is so awful, why do businessmen and scientists flock over here?

I'll explain: Because we are a constitutional republic with a capitalist economy. Other countries are dictatorships or have a disturbing amount of socialism or simply don't have the level of prosperity.Either way, they are told what to do have their finances and practice heavily regulated.

In some place like China, there are hardly any workplace standards.

Here in America we have balance between the two.

I'll have a look at the article, but any threat by China to use that debt against us is empty and negated by their brown-water fleet.
