"It’s not possible for two countries to be the leading dominant political power at the same time." ― Fareed Zakaria Topic(s): Power More From Fareed Zakaria "America’s growth historically has been fueled mostly by investment, education, productivity, innovation and immigration. The one thing that doesn’t seem to have anything to do with America’s growth rate is a brutal work schedule." "It is absolutely clear that government plays a key role, as a catalyst, in promoting long-run growth." "In a very weak economy, when you say ‘cut government spending,’ what you mean is you’re laying off school teachers and you’re de-funding various programs that put money into the economy. This means you have more unemployed people that then draw unemployment benefits and don’t pay taxes."
