And on Saturday evening, Trump called Carter to talk about it. It was the first time they’d spoken, Carter said. He said Trump said he is particularly concerned about how China is “getting ahead of us.”

Carter agreed that’s true.

“And do you know why? I normalized diplomatic relations with China in 1979. Since 1979 do you know how many times China has been at war with anybody? None. And we have stayed at war,” he said.

The U.S., Carter said, has been at war for all but 16 years of its 242-year history. (China and Vietnam actually fought a brief border war in early 1979, weeks after normalization of U.S.-China relations.)

He called the United States “the most warlike nation in the history of the world,” because of a tendency to try to force others to “adopt our American principles.”

Carter suggested that instead of war, China has been investing in its own infrastructure, mentioning that China has 18,000 miles of high-speed railroad.

“How many miles of high-speed railroad do we have in this country?”

Zero, the congregation answered.

“We have wasted I think $3 trillion,” Carter said of American military spending. “… It’s more than you can imagine. China has not wasted a single penny on war and that’s why they’re ahead of us. In almost every way.

“And I think the difference is if you take $3 trillion and put it in American infrastructure you’d probably have $2 trillion leftover. We’d have high-speed railroad. We’d have bridges that aren’t collapsing, we’d have roads that are maintained properly. Our education system would be as good as that of say South Korea or Hong Kong.

Carter got it right. We spend trillions on a military for no reason. Any of the big countries with big military(China, Russia, India) can defend us easily and they all have nukes in case we are the aggressor. We don't need a huge military boondoggle to fight the likes of Iraq,Syria etc. And even then we lose these wars, not because we don't have a great military,  but because wars are eventually ended with diplomacy.

But the fraud party of trickle down economics lead by a liar-in-chief are only interested in tax cuts for the rich and unquestioned military expense. They don't care about our poor infrastructure, our "poorly educated"(whom the conman loves because they fall for his con without even trying), or healthcare.

China is the leader in highspeed rail, solar and wind power, infrastructure, even healthcare. No surprise there because they focus on growth NOT military expansion and tax cuts for the rich.[/quote]
What are you smokin, my friend?[/quote]

Not PP. You may not be the real world because China is a leader in web 2.0 technologies, battery tech etc. China sells more electric cars in one month than what we do in 2 years. So wake up and work your ass off because just bleating " we are exceptional" and resting on other people's past accomplishments doesn't guarantee a future.[/quote]
