I don't know what US dominance means anymore. What exactly are we 
fighting for? Our capitalists want the same things as their capitalists. 
Maybe 70 years ago ours were in a race with theirs over whose export 
share was highest. Now exports don't matter. GE doesn't care if stuff is 
made in upstate New York or in China. How would we know if the US was 
losing its dominance?
