The US certainly has tons of wastes and rent seeking middlemen. We do not produce much hard goods, and services to your pt are highly subjective. In PPP, China has already outpaced the US, but nominal matters too because the financial wealth does matter for US' role as the biggest consumer mkt in the world and its power projections around the globe. But it is very much part of the script where the US enjoys such financialized wealth due to dollar's unique role as the global reserve currency that other countries must strive to accumulate. I am very much sympathetic to having an economy that actually produces real tangible goods. Software power is important but in the end we do live in a physical world and need physical appliances.
