>That "consumption" is such a difficult thing to do is a preposterous idea, since you can always set things on fire. These theories are all make believe.

Well if you believe so you can go present your findings to policymakers or the CCP rather than in internet forum comments. They would be VERY interested to know what revolutionary insights you have that hundreds of economists are unable to solve.

Propaganda is supposed to be for the proles. Whatever those bureaucrats say is not the candid truth, that should be obvious to anybody. Once the elite begins absorbing it at its first level of speech, it's a sure sign that the nation is in decline.

We don't refer to the same problem. This problem you're referring to is not about finding those people who have the ability, so rare among non-american people, to consume stuff. It's about ramping up production while at the same time paying tribute to the US. This is, indeed, a difficult problem to solve and no doubts requires the best minds of the economic academia world.

However, the nature of the problem changes once the US stops being the world police. The problem becomes figuring out what's the pecking order now.
