I doubt we will ever return to the great business minds that made America such a powerhouse in years past. We have witnessed the failure of a system that was fine-tuned to make life good for the masses. What we have today is so pitifully obedient, if Wall Street can't make a haul off it, it doesn't get to survive. If it does, a mere pittance is handed to third-world workers who barely scrape by.

I've watched a vibrant industry I was part of (biomediccal electronics) for over 20 years simply evaporate into mostly offshore production. I now work elsewhere with brilliant minds from all over the globe on innovative products that hopefully will take their place on the world market, but the model is reworked so that very little of what we buy today is produced by our own hands. It was so much easier when we just worried about our own good and let the trade tariffs that served us so well since Colonial times do their job.
