Other Countries Rising in Power

I believe that the United States will decline in economic importance as China, India, Brazil and other countries will rise in power and influence politically and economically in the twenty first century. As the other countries are rising, we are falling. The United States alone has over fifteen trillion dollars in debt and still counting.

Many Americans are upset and don’t understand reasoning behind raising prices. If gas prices continue to rise, everything else will follow and continue to rise also. But these
