The Demise of America forcasted by the IMF
http://finance.yahoo.com/banking-bud...nd-marketwatch
10 years ago the US Economy was 3x the size of China's.
China had nearly 4x our population, but we are still the most prisoned nation in the world.
In 2000 we signed the Chinese Trade Agreement and we've been on a HORRIBLE downhill slope economically ever since.
China also has massive trade restrictions on any US Corporation in China.
The balance is totally lopsided and more jobs are being exported to overseas labor faster then you can blink.
Our economy is being ran into the ground by greedy sons of b*tches in Political office and Wall Street.
It's 2011 and 99% of the products in stores today are NOT "Made in America".
In fact, more like 70% or more are "Made in China".
China will takeover the US Economy and crash us without ever firing a single shot. Sun Tzu was right.

But, is this politics??
To me, politics is something that can go either way, in favor of one party or another!
I read the same article last night, and it effects EVERYONE IN THE U.S.!
I was aware that we were selling property to other nations, but the article points out that we could be the American Minority in just a few years, and our 'politicians' seem to be ignoring it!

Yes it is.
pol·i·tics (pl-tks)
n.
1. (used with a sing. verb)
a. The art or science of government or governing, especially the governing of a political entity, such as a nation, and the administration and control of its internal and external affairs.
b. Political science.
2. (used with a sing. or pl. verb)
a. The activities or affairs engaged in by a government, politician, or political party: "All politics is local" (Thomas P. O'Neill, Jr.) "Politics have appealed to me since I was at Oxford because they are exciting morning, noon, and night" (Jeffrey Archer).
b. The methods or tactics involved in managing a state or government: The politics of the former regime were rejected by the new government leadership. If the politics of the conservative government now borders on the repressive, what can be expected when the economy falters?
3. (used with a sing. or pl. verb) Political life: studied law with a view to going into politics; felt that politics was a worthwhile career.
4. (used with a sing. or pl. verb) Intrigue or maneuvering within a political unit or group in order to gain control or power: Partisan politics is often an obstruction to good government. Office politics are often debilitating and counterproductive.
5. (used with a sing. or pl. verb) Political attitudes and positions: His politics on that issue is his own business. Your politics are clearly more liberal than mine.
6. (used with a sing. or pl. verb) The often internally conflicting interrelationships among people in a society.
Usage Note: Politics, although plural in form, takes a singular verb when used to refer to the art or science of governing or to political science: Politics has been a concern of philosophers since Plato. But in its other senses politics can take either a singular or plural verb. Many other nouns that end in -ics behave similarly, and the user is advised to consult specific entries for precise information.

Pretty broad stretch of the word. I was only leaning on it from the economical and trade angle.
