In the 21st century, the U.S. economy has been unable to create jobs in export and import-competitive industries. U.S. job growth is confined to nontradable domestic services.

This movement of the American labor force toward Third World occupations in domestic services has dire implications both for U.S. living standards and for America’s status as a superpower.

Paging Mr. Greenspan...

...and you expect Greenspan to do what? Educate a youth whose attention span is precisely calibrated to the exact length of a music video? Maybe he should raise all the Third World wages so they are competitive with wages in the U.S.? Maybe he should implement a seres of subsidies to businesses to build factories in previously abandoned industrial areas?

It's an adult world. America will either compete or perish.
