Good question. What is there to invest in within the U.S. any longer? Our companies are being sent overseas. There aren't major manufacturing companies growing in the U.S.
The U.S. has become, primarily now, a "service economy." How do you "invest" in a service company???? There's no inherent value in any such kind of company...there's no real estate, machinery, equipment, or copyright. Those kinds of company's "values" and "worth" come from "service". Service is people ability....not product-ability. It's "paper" not something "tangible."
So....what is there any longer to invest in the U.S. is a good question.
I’d say it’s one of the most important questions we face. Funny thing, I actually remember this topic about 15 years ago...and well...here we are! And the question still exists, only it’s “now” and not “some other generations problem”.
The intellectual core of the human race came together here during and after WW II. That core's descendants are still here, although who knows for how long. Asians have gotten rich copying American technology, but they have been unable to produce any breakthroughs on their own. A good example of this is the clown show that was China's missle program until Bill Clinton sold our guidance technology to them for campaign cash for the '96 election.
