The stock market is tittering, the financial sector is imploding, real estate instead of a place to live for families, is now a gambling chip, the deficit is rising and the dollar is tanking.

So, how long can the United States be only seen as a consumer market and not as a nation to invest in her people and infrastructure?

On a mile high level, it seems the great generation, that of WWII , understood what happens with unfettered capitalism, no regulation and no power to workers and we have stood idly by while all that was built has been under attack for over 30 years. Now the United States stands not as an economic world leader, but more of a fat cow to slaughter. Hungry nations prey, salivate and take the prime cuts.
