We're a service economy now. Which is all well and good, but you can't have a nation of 280 million people that only produces paper. Plus, the industry we do have requires less and less workers as we get more productive. Kind of a a downward spiral.

I can't complain, personally, the service economy has been very good to me. But, I can see the long-term problems for the country.

Seein that we're the largest exporter in the world, that's pretty darn good for a service economy.
