Any Building is Supported by I-Beams. If you take out enough I-Beams the Building is Coming DOWN.

The USA is like a Building. IF you take out enough Manufacturing Jobs .… then the USA is coming DOWN.

Between Job Exportation and Illegal Immigration Our Blessed USA is being Double Whamyed. And the Only Winners are the Globalist’s on Wall Street who buy of our Politicians in DC to keep this Process of Destruction going.

Sooner or later It is going Down and it will take Generations to bounce back up agian.

Yes, but is the system temporarily or permanently failed? I don’t think that free enterprise has been invalidated. It’s the mantra of free trade that has ruined us. Free enterprise doesn’t account for ruthless and amoral manipulators who refuse to play by any rules except what is convenient for themselves.

@ Diana Gwinn

I agree that the current system is a failed system. However, the coming demographic winter is the looming storm on the horizon our self-glorified leaders don’t want to talk about. We may limp along for a little while yet, temporarily supported by deficit spending. The reduced population of young people, though, has created a vacuum in the economy. There have been some 50 million abortions in the last 36 years or so? At 2 children per family, that has likely resulted in the loss of 20 million families. That represents business owners, home owners, workers, and overall wealth creation.

Our economic system would be in trouble even if it weren’t failing at the moment. The burden of the aging population is just too much. With the current system failing the burden on the younger generation can only be compounded (with the loss of retirement savings and family trusts). The forces of population control and bad economics will work synergistically to do us in.

There’s a piece missing from this scenario and that is the surplus labor force, excluding foreign or illegal workers. There is a dearth of liveable wage employment in this country and future job forecasts are dire. We no longer have a viable manufacturing base and that’s not likely to change in the near future. If we had more youth, what would we do with them? We could do just what we’re doing now, put them in prison or send them off to kill or be killed in wars of aggression against civilian populations in foreign countries. This is a failed system… period. Family planning/legal abortion, gay lifestyle and smaller families are not the problem.
