World trade was falling even faster than in the early years of the Great Depression of the 1930s." (From Peterson Institute for International Economics)

Some worry that China's rise will impair America's capacity to fulfill or pursue its traditional geopolitical objectives. And those concerns are magnified by a media that cannot resist tempting the impulses of U.S. nationalism." (From Cato Institute)

Through voting by mail and voting early in person, nearly one third of Americans voted prior to Election Day in 2008." (From American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research)
