The Philippines is the key to continued US global supremacy

According to the World Bank, the Per Capita Nominal GDP of the US in 2015 was $55,904.

Theoretically, therefore, 101 million Filipinos have the potential to add $5.6 Trillion a year in Nominal GDP to the US Economy. That will make the US Economy even larger than the entire EU!

If the US wants to maintain its lone superpower status well into the 22nd Century, the obvious solution is to re-absorb the Philippines.

And this can easily be done. All the US has to do is pass a law declaring as US Citizens all US Subjects born in the Philippines when the latter was still a US territory.
