"We have entire socio-economic groups of people who
can not compete, let alone even hold jobs in this
modern economy."

I will not debate this with you. Your points are well taken but in some sense also do not shed proper light on the situation. It is not that we have entire socio-economic groups of people who can not compete or hold jobs in this modern economy but instead have a world awash in cheap labor competing for a finite level of production. The US has managed to outsource production costs to the countries with the cheapest labor costs. Entire line of fabrication have been outsource either entirely or in various facets because the vast majority of the world can do it cheaper because of their economic condition. No matter how well production might improve domesticly in the quality of such product the world knows they can produce it cheaper and the quality as good. Even if the quality were not as good the US would still lose because there are those who buy based on price not based on quality.
