This article is idiocracy too. It throws a bunch of unrelated factors out to support it's main claim, and doesn't even attempt to tie them together.

It's main claim was "The US economy is straying further and further away from a free-market model and towards a government-controlled, crony economy."

It's first point is the aging demographics. A troubling trend but it has 0 to do with government controlling the economy.

It's second point is mostly identical to the first. But it does acknowledge that we have off-shored our jobs to "less restrictive countries". The truth is that off-shoring is due to deregulation. We lowered the import tariffs and now American labor is forced to compete with the lowest wage countries.

No mention of immigration and its impact on labor force participation. We must create 150,000 jobs a month just to keep up with immigration. We bring in now 1.2 million legal permanent immigrants a year along with 700,000 guest workers on temporary work visas. At any one time there are 2 million guest workers in this country. And then add to that 11 million or more illegal aliens.
