The economy of the United States has been the world’s largest national economy since the early 1870s;[1] its gross domestic product (GDP) was estimated as $13.8 trillion in 2007
The Gross Domestic Product of all the colonies combined at that time was around $500 million. Mostly agrarian and subsistence farming
1700-1800 U.S.’s GDP a nice 800% boost up to $4 billion. Due to immigration and the creation of the centralized hands on government.
1800-1900 The Gross Domestic Product of the nation expanded seventy-three-fold during the 1800s bringing it up to $292 billion due to increased freedoms, free land and rail transportation infrastructure and manufacturing all relying on plentiful raw materials.
1900-2000 The economy absolutely skyrocketed, bringing the GDP up 3,424% to ten trillion dollars due to continued increase in population and intensity of land usage but mostly by the integration of oil into everything used by consumers and the efficient development of other natural resources.
The per capita GDP went from $500, $800, $3900, and $35,000.

Are we willing to standby and turn over to representative,s including the three candidates for president above, the power to negatively affect our per capita GDP in the 21st century?
Can we or should we even try to enlist Internet , on line, blogsphere, engineering, and software talent, to apply established principles, drawn from mathematics and science, to re engineer the government and its policies.
Should we stop debating issues and act to develop and propose new laws?**
