So it seems like - and I'm no expert - that whatever is going on in the US, it ain't good. Are we all destined to work for Super Target and Walmart? Are we or our children destined to be cutting each other's hair and flippin' each other's burgers?

We buy cheap crap made in China by factory workers who make 30 cents an hour, we live in homes made by illegals from Mexico, and the government borrows money on our behalf every morning to cover its bills. Money is flowing out along with the future of our kids. We certainly aren't the "brains" of the world anymore either - education in many cities is nearly worthless. Am I wrong in thinking that we are headed straight to Hell?

re: service economy

A UN report just came out the other day that said that US workers are the most productive in the world producing over $64,000 of wealth per capita. That's a hell of a lot of overtime at Walmart and Target.

Uhhh what if someone steals it, like China?

Also, as is seen on Letsrun on a daily basis, there are quite a few who are deficient in the "I" portion of IP.

Basically, you are saying - service industry economy.
