what can we do?

Keep working to make the US more competitive. Freer trade. Lower taxes and replace income tax with National Retail Sales Tax (free up smart attorneys and accountants for productive work!). Less regulation. Eliminate capital gains tax. Reduce government spending and borrowing (more capital available for businesses and capital markets!). Better education (less PC, sensitivity BS, more math, science, writing, communication skills). For a start. Get moving.

Exactly. The only way to maintain our competitiveness is for Americans to start thinking this way, instead of the constant doom and gloom- everyone's going to be working at McDonald's- scenarios.
