Innovation may not be dead but a wealth of new high paying jobs is. There is NOTHING we can come up with that can not be taught or produced elsewhere at far lower labor costs.

wrong, rest of world passed US in patents years ago
in the mid 1990 decade, check it for yourself

and so what?
back in late 1980's and early 1990's, we would produce patents, but then be so slow to market, that the Japanese beat us with products, after simply reading the patents in the Library of Congress
besides, we have so many regulatory obstacles not present in Asia, that helped the Japanese (and Koreans, Taiwanese, HKongers, etc)

US corporations "do it" but it does not benefit Americans
their stockholders benefit
their employees (in Asia) benefit

where have you been in the last few years?
when did I say INNOVATION WAS DEAD ???
try reading what I said again, you misquote
I say technological devmt are shared fruits
Greenspasm believes tech improves corp profitability, as a central plank on the New Economy myth
since 1985, corp profits have trended down down down
when all corporations are able to use the same shared tools, then the benefits get passed down to the consumer
esp cheaper after overexpansion and glutted bankruptcies

at the margin, US corps are expanding abroad
before too many more years, US corps will have very few American workers, but perhaps plenty of profits
because they will be harnessing Asian labor, intellectual talent, and DESIRE TO WORK

S&P index is no longer a Leading US Indicator
it is a US Financial Sector Present Indicator, combined in a perverse fashion with a Leading Asian Indicator
i.e. US inflation plus Asian expansion

HAS ANYONE NOTICED THE EXTREME DEARTH OF DESIRE TO WORK IN THE USA ???
kids learn to spend, party, and use drugs
even if heading to bankruptcy

ARE YOU AWARE THAT 23% OF US COLLEGE GRADUATES HAVE ALREADY DECLARED BANKRUPTCY ???
you have much to learn, youngster
