The US is run for and by rich people who don't see the advantage of 
paying and educating their work force well enough to make them maximally 
productive. China has the same problem, even if the ruling minority 
rationalises it right to rule with different arguments

0il and natural gas are shrinking markets, and in aircraft Airbus now 
outsells Boeing (partly because new Boeing aircraft have taken to having 
bits fall off in flight). Electronic components were never a US monopoly 
and global warming will play havoc with everybody's food production even 
if you don't believe in it.
