JK: "We can’t compete with China because of our politicians"

Me: Yeah, the politicians I voted for, along with a majority of Portlanders, Oregonians, Americans. Don't be a sore loser, the Portland we are building is the Portland we (the majority) want to have. Ranting about something does not make it reality, nor will it turn a loser into a winner.

Regarding the topic of the article - Interesting post. I look forward to competition with China in the coming decades. I think regardless of who remains the world superpower the continuing march of human progress will raise everyones standard of living. The US will certain remain competitive.
