one could argue that we lived as the rest of the world does, and as a resualt postioned america in leadership and participation in the rest of the world. as things stand now - the US has no credability in the ROW, and thats a cause and effect on Lotus raising msrp on the cars. the US is throughly getting its butt kicked right now. so again - one could argue our current situation if far worse than thoose examples.
so a few alternative arguments might look like:
compare the dollar exchange rates since this adminstration
compare the US fatalities since during this adminstration
compare domestic vs. foriegn trade and production
compare "nationalized" jobs
