I was wondering as the most powerful country in the world today, what would this situation create in the next 20 years? The impact on our strength for military and economy?

Actually CapNemo, you are mistaken, I just don't feel like having a response that is not in relation to the topic itself like character assassination and attack on the person doing the post or response which like I mentioned in my previous writes, I am guilty of some violation and or out of context myself.
So thanks for the warning but if you look at the length of all my writes including some of the most commented blogs, I have never done that except the last two ones.
Now you have said your piece and I have taken the responsibility that serves peace as far as I can see.
Thank you for your participation.

"Britain seeks to join China-backed infrastructure bank"
I can't upload it Risalred but there's more to it than what meets the eye specially on the recent reports given.
I have read from the Forbes magazine recently that China being the most major player in the creditor side of the IMF, perhaps, we have to watch out what is in their agenda?

"Britain seeks to join China-backed infrastructure bank"
$50 billion Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) has been feted by Beijing as a way of financing regional development, and is seen as a potential rival to US-based institutions such as the World Bank.
Finance minister George Osborne said Britain would join discussions with other founding members to set out the institution's governance and accountability structures later this month, in a move to bolster relations with China.
"Joining the AIIB at the founding stage will create an unrivalled opportunity for the UK and Asia to invest and grow together," Osborne said in a statement.
The move drew a cautious response from Washington, a rare note of discord in the special relationship that follows criticism from the US about Britain's falling defence spending.
"We believe any new multilateral institution should incorporate the high standards of the World Bank and the regional development banks," said US National Security Council spokesman Patrick Ventrell.
"Based on many discussions, we have concerns about whether the AIIB will meet these high standards, particularly related to governance, and environmental and social safeguards."
China and 20 other countries signed a memorandum of understanding to establish the Beijing-headquartered bank in October.
The bank has support from countries including India, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Uzbekistan and Vietnam.
However several major economies allied to the United States including Japan, South Korea and Australia have declined to become founding members.k-230740736.html#V9ikfTo

Forging this kind of venture would definitely create agitation on the part of the US as it is going to be a tool in uniting two wealthy countries for what?
That is the question.
When the interest of these two global economies swing as one against the US, we know where it is going, at least I have an idea.
But Russia and India are also capable in making the weight against such alliance. Something to watch for.

Debt and obesity is not exclusive of USA.
Obesity goes hand to hand with health care.
Are “debt and obesity” in the USA different with the same in other countries?

Harry welcome to my thread. I do need to apologize for my untoward behaviour I had on my last blog.
First of all the etiquette of introduction was completely omitted and please allow me to introduce myself. I have been on here for so long. I have written so many poems like I said, most of which were the most commented and our community of the poets in the corner has regarded me as one of the stalwarts of most respected. You don't have to believe me. I have written so many blogs, most of which were the most commented in substance, in the first page and read all of them. None of those had ever generated any kind of disrespect or bullying and I have mails as long as 4 years ago from my friends there to indicate what kind of a person I am.
When the fiasco started here on my last two thread, I truly felt insulted by Jac's entrance on my write as she always did on my blogs and some blogs of others. I acted well beyond who I am, who I was and I deserved to be punished. So when you got in and made those deragatory remarks of who I am, I can't blame you as you didn't know me, but allow me to tell you that all are welcome on all my writes and if it warrants no more insults or character assassination as provided for in the rules, then I welcome all ideas, in agreement or in opposition on mine.

Yes on majority of the countries and not on all of them. If you look at the record as to who holds the highest percentage of Obesity, it will surprise you that the rest of the poor countries don't have that as the general picture of the population.
Just google it and it will show you in billions what we spend here as far as fighting obesity is concerned. Now on the other hand, it does also create a multi billion dollar industry on the activities involving losing weight or anti obesity activity.

On the national debt, show me which country can have a rise as fast as mine in the debt accumulation? According to the opinion page of Pioneer Press.Just google it and it will show you in billions what we spend here as far as fighting obesity is concerned. Now on the other hand, it does also create a multi billion dollar industry on the activities involving losing weight or anti obesity activity.
Now I am more concerned on the impact to the economic power of my country than any other thing.

The USA is leader in obesity in the world.
34% of adults are considered as obese while 17% kids are obese.
around 24% of workers will get disabled due to lower back pain - which is caused by obesity in some people.
There are a lot of those who are considered overweight as well but yet did not cross a line to become obese.
Yes, the US is at first place!

Thanks for the information Lanna, question is why do you think?
Are there patterns that might indicate why so?
What do we need to do?
Thanks.
