we built too much of our economy on the real estate bubble, while allowing massive amounts of manufacturing and technology to be moved offshore.
at some point, we have to realize that we all can’t earn a living swapping real estate to each other at ever higher prices.

That's one issue that as a non-economist I would most like to see explained well somewhere...... how much our our GDP is truly meaningful, whether in real estate, services, etc., if it reflects mainly inflated prices and wages? Yes, I know that no economy has ever been primarily manufacturing, but when manufacturing is down to around 17% of our GDP and a lot of key sectors have been moving overseas, do we still have real economic vitality and security?
