    It did not look anywhere near as grim as it was during the recession. Hell when FDR took office, the unemployment rate was up around 25%.

    So according to his own arguments he wants to move closer to a modern day Russia or make believe capitalist paragon China. Good luck with that bro.

    I replied to your previous post that it was a joke, which I conveyed by underlining part of your statement.
    I apologize if you misinterpreted it.

    In retrospect, I did communicate quite a bit of conflicting messages, stating that China was a Capitalism, but easily capible of Communism.
    I apologize for that, as I was in error.

    Yeah... that was partly the cause of my response.

    When you have posted as much and as in depth as I have on a forums, it becomes difficult to keep track of everything that you have said and maintain consistency, especially when consistency is important.
    And I am only human. Sometimes I make declarations under the affects of emotions. Sometimes I am being sarcastic when I say something. Its difficult to remember, especially with my memory.

    Kay, so do you think China is more capitalist than the USA?

    In retrospect, that is not an easy thing to answer and I was hasty in answering before.
    Among other things, one has to ask, how do you measure it?

    Overall though, no, China isn't more Capitalistic than the US.

    But I will have to look more in depth than that which I can muster at this specific moment, since the question is incredibly complex. I'll see about getting back to you with a more complete answer some other time.
