Don't you guys think we are getting to a point in the economy where we're just inventing jobs? There's no industry left, I mean there is, but who has a real job anymore? Are people still out there harvesting raw resources to make tradeable goods with? Not in our country; we're just a country of consumers and that's a problem. Economics 101: a healthy economy results with a country that has more exports than imports.. at least that's what my economics teacher told me.

What raw resource have we got to trade anymore? Foreign resources are cheaper. All we have is our technology (a false scarcity) and our big ass military. It's safe to say that the capitalistic thirst of the traditional American working man has all but dissipated. People these days want to wear brand name clothes, listen to music for its image, and sit and watch rich people on TV and feel special and unique and above everyone else.
