We went from 23T-35T
Other top 20 countries went from 61T-85T

28% to 35%

Their total number was bigger too.

Oh so now you're upset that we alone only were about 40% of TWENTY COUNTRIES COMBINED?

Suboptimal growth is what is concerning. Your obfuscation is noted however

He wants us to have the same growth as China, a country which brought a half billion people from subsistence living in rice fields to industrial wages.

You can tell by his lack of responses he really thought he had some brilliant gotcha and was hoping others would pull his weight.

That's how trade works. Both parties should benefit. That's the point.

Numbers are self evident. You’re fine with below average growth. I’m not shocked.

They've adopted the spirit and attitude of Trump who believes that everything is always zero-sum. If anybody else succeeds then you must be failing.

Do you expect Walmart to grow at the same rate as a startup?

Established countries with high GDPs cannot sustain the same growth rate as developing nations

I understand the rest of the world, collectively, is growing 20% faster than we are over the last 10 years.

Expecting the U.S. service economy to grow like industrializing China or India is like expecting a retired marathon runner to keep setting personal records just because a teenager who just bought their first pair of sneakers is suddenly sprinting everywhere. At a certain point, economies are not going to grow that fast.

If you have 1 billion dollars and make another 100 million, but some homeless Somalian goes from a net worth of $1 to $2, did he end up better than you because his net worth grew by 100%?
