I'm sure that all these countries that has envyed the US for so long will come up with lots of theories...let me not even get started with China, they have been getting bailouts from left to right and they are sinking faster than the famous Titanic...Walmart is full of their junk.

My best friend lives in Moscow, for business, as far as I am concerned Russia is not on top of the list...

Would that be the same China whose economy has grown to be the third largest in the world (it overtook Germany last year) and which is still showing positive GDP growth while virtually all G7/G20/OECD nations are in recession?

To be fair the previous incumbent spent quite a lot of money he didn't have, probably more than the stimulus package, and I don't think you really got too much to show for that either...
