The strength of any economy is its ability to provide goods. Where our economy is moving to is that of a third world nation, as racingbeat said. Wait 20-30 more years and you'll see. BTW, where is that guy you went to HS with who has an IQ of 85 going to work? As a professional designer?
I think producing goods may be too narrow of a definition but GDP growth has been terrific the past 2 years so we are firing on all cylinders there.
If one does not have a college education, one will themselves in a pickle but overall a more educated workforce will earnmore in real takehome pay and have a good and steadily getting better lifestyle.
[Mods: does it make sense to take out the economic discussion and put in a thread in Off-Topic area?]
