While it's not a promising (but not entirely unsurprising) sign, I don't see anything inherently devastating about that. Article also says that the US surpassed England's economic dominance in 1890, and has remained so since. Just like it wasn't the end of the world for England in 1890, likewise it won't be the end of the world for the US in 2016.
I think the economy is a concern. I would just be more interested in improving things here than comparing ourselves (USA) to other countries.

I agree with this. Just because we will be surpassed doesn't mean we will completely fall apart. We just wont be numero uno anymore.
