Why is America struggling to realize that our future may not simply "recover" as it has in the past?

America is struggling to realize that the next phase of America may not be what we have come to expect throughout our lifetime. It can happen. As we fight daily over Left vs. Right, and GOP vs. Cons, companies are reporting record profits. They are sitting on record Cash reserves or investing in other economies because that's where new 21st century population growth and consumer demand now resides. The rich are richer than ever before and they are not putting their money back into America. The top 400 richest Americans have more money than 150 million other Americans. There is no demand. A majority of new jobs are now going overseas with these companies and they are not coming back in any large numbers. IBM, Cisco, Intel may layoff 65,000 or 40,000 or 20,000 American workers here but many of those positions are just re-created in India, China, the Philippines, etc... America may need to re-adjust its future expectations.

1. Dang we actually agree on one ! I certainly can see it !
2. There aren't enough white people for this country to recover. Name me one successful Black country and one sucessful Hispanic country with a high standard of living? White children under 5 years old are a minority in this nation, our country is gone, we have lost America.
3. Lack of education in the fields of History, Economics and Politics.
4. As the founding fathers and most of our president have stated, Government is the problem. Govt causes a recession and fks us over. Govt has the highest business taxes and fks us over. Govt massively over-spends and fks us over. Govt outside the bounds of the Constitution is a parasite.
5. Someone quick call me an ambulance, I am finding myself agreeing with Fl. Swamp thing.
6. I like to call it the "socialism bomb"... Creeping automation of most human labor will turn capitalists into socialists to maintain demand in coming decades..
7. The truth is a hard thing to accept. It doesn't help any that the very people who are making record profits during the greatest economic downturn since the great depression while sitting on the receiving end of the greatest wealth transfer in all of known history have brainwashed at least 50% of the American populace to give them more money so they can make every thing alright. What a sick joke. This country is completely done if something major doesn't change in our favor. The middle class has failed to keep up with inflation for decades and people still hold on to this idea that we are this awesome country that does no wrong. People need to wake up hard. This country does great wrong, and it does this wrong by you(American). You(American) are ok with that. I am not. I guess that makes me an american hating libtard because I hate seeing you and every one else who works their @sses off not prospering at all while these crooks make off every day with nearly every single scrap of this country..
8. <Putting on my ice skates because hell must have frozen over.> We are in agreement on this one.
